About this plant
Nandina domestica 'Harbour Dwarf' offers a striking display of fine-textured foliage that transitions beautifully through the seasons. New growth emerges with reddish-bronze hues, maturing to a vibrant green, and often developing brilliant red and purple tones in cooler weather, providing exceptional four-season appeal. This low-maintenance and versatile evergreen shrub maintains a neat, mounding habit without the need for extensive pruning. 'Harbour Dwarf' is an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mass plantings, or as a vibrant accent in rock gardens and urban landscapes. Despite its common name, Heavenly Bamboo is not a true bamboo, offering a more contained and less invasive growth habit, making it an ideal choice for a variety of garden designs.
