The sacred bamboo of the Far East
Despite its nickname, the Nandina is not a bamboo: native to East Asia, it borrows only its slender silhouette and light, graceful foliage.
Its young shoots redden in spring, its white flowers give way in autumn to clusters of persistent red berries, offering interest in every season.
"The Nandina changes color every season without ever going bare."
