Nandina domestica 'Summer Sunset' pbr

Common Name:
Sacred Bamboo 'Summer Sunset'

Description:
Nandina domestica 'Summer Sunset' is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its vibrant foliage that transitions through shades of bright lime, gold, orange, and red, creating a year-round display of changing colours. This dwarf variety forms a dense, mounding habit, making it perfect for low hedging, borders, mass planting, and container use. Unlike traditional Nandina varieties, 'Summer Sunset' is non-invasive and does not produce berries, making it a safer option for wildlife-friendly gardens. It thrives in full sun to part shade, is drought-tolerant once established, and requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for Melbourne gardens.
