Nandina domestica

Nandina domestica garden uses

Nandina domestica is highly valued in gardens for its year-round ornamental appeal. It’s commonly used in borders, mass plantings, and as a low hedge or foundation plant. Its upright, cane-like growth and finely divided foliage make it ideal for adding texture and vertical interest. The colourful new growth, white spring flowers, and bright red berries in autumn and winter make it a standout feature plant. It also thrives in containers and suits both formal and informal landscape designs.

How to grow and care for Nandina domestica in NZ

To grow Nandina domestica successfully in New Zealand, plant it in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. It tolerates a range of conditions, including frost, dry periods, and coastal environments. Water regularly during establishment, then only during extended periods of dryness. Apply mulch annually to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to support lush foliage and berry production. Pruning is generally minimal; remove old or damaged stems in late winter to encourage fresh growth and maintain the shape.
