nandina shrub
The nandina shrub is a versatile, hardy choice for New Zealand gardens—and it's so much more than meets the eye. Sometimes called ‘heavenly bamboo’, the nandina shrub isn’t a bamboo at all but a compact, evergreen shrub known for its striking foliage and clusters of colourful berries. With seasonal interest and an easy-going nature, nandina is perfect for gardeners wanting structure, subtle colour, and low-maintenance beauty.
