Nandina 'Burgundy Wine' | Heavenly Bamboo | Evergreen Shrub | Burgundy Foliage | 1 Gallon Live Plant

Add year-round color to your landscape with Nandina domestica 'Burgundy Wine', a compact evergreen shrub prized for its rich burgundy-red foliage that intensifies during fall and winter. Despite its common name, Heavenly Bamboo is not a true bamboo and features a tidy, upright growth habit that makes it perfect for foundation plantings, borders, containers, and mass plantings.

Fresh new growth emerges with attractive reddish tones before maturing to deep green, then transforms into brilliant burgundy throughout the cooler months for exceptional seasonal interest. This adaptable shrub is heat tolerant, drought tolerant once established, deer resistant, and easy to grow, making it an outstanding low-maintenance choice for landscapes.
