Blush Pink Heavenly Bamboo

About this plant

Nandina domestica 'Blush Pink', commonly known as Heavenly Bamboo, is a standout selection valued for its ever-changing foliage display. New growth emerges in brilliant shades of pink and red, maturing to a soft green before blushing crimson again in cooler temperatures, offering continuous interest in your landscape. This compact, upright shrub is an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or as an accent plant, bringing a dynamic splash of color to any garden design. Its delicate, bamboo-like leaves and fine texture make it a versatile addition to both modern and traditional garden styles. Unlike traditional bamboo, Heavenly Bamboo is a well-behaved plant that won't aggressively spread, making it a low-maintenance and desirable option for those seeking a beautiful yet manageable shrub.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in a variety of soils, 'Blush Pink' Nandina benefits from an annual application of balanced fertilizer in spring. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or crossing branches and to maintain its desired shape and size.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
