SACRED BAMBOO
Nandina Domestica; heavenly bamboo or sacred bamboo as some call it, is a flowering plant originating from eastern Asia. This beautiful ornamental plant is widely grown in gardens because of its attractiveness.
Although called sacred bamboo, this is in fact not a bamboo, but a semi-evergreen shrub. It’s this deciduous characteristic, that makes it an all year round beauty.
Nandina is a durable plant, and can take both full shade and sun, and is tolerant of dryer conditions, which makes it a suitable plant for many gardens. The ever changing colours of the leaves, as well as its bright red berries, makes this shrub something to be admired.
Unfortunately its berries are highly toxic for many animals and it is seen as an invasive weed in many countries. So instead of admiring this plant in your garden, rather admire it as a print on your wall. If you are looking for something to brighten up your living room, pop over to my website to purchase yours.
