Nandina: 'Gulf Stream'

(common name: Nandina)

Description:

Outstanding evergreen shrub displays attractive foliage in all seasons. New growth is scarlet maturing to blue green in summer. Intense red fall color after a cold snap is its hallmark. The moderately fast-growing, dense, mounded form reaches 3 to 3½ feet in height and 3 feet wide, making Gulf Stream ideal for use around foundations or in mixed borders. Small white flower stalks are a bonus. Very hardy and virtually pest and disease free.
