You need year-round color and a brilliant fall display! The Compact Heavenly Bamboo, Nandina domestica 'Compacta', also known as Compact Nandina, is a broadleaf evergreen shrub with four-season interest! Your Compact Heavenly Bamboo is, as it sounds, a "heavenly" addition to your landscape!
It is not related to the invasive Bamboo plant but rather is a remarkable shrub that will provide you with year-round enjoyment yet still show off the same tropical-looking leaves - but only better!
The copper-tinted, new growth in spring is sure to catch your eye before it transitions to its vibrant green for summer. Its numerous leaflets tend to lend the foliage a lacy appearance, providing some added definition for your landscape. Spring brings a scattering of small, star-shaped white flowers that pollinators love, but Compact Heavenly Bamboo is perhaps most beloved for its dramatic fall and winter display!
It has an upright, compact form, but as autumn approaches, the Compact Heavenly Bamboo will robe itself in shades of purple-tinted, red brilliance. The bright display is enhanced by a multitude of scarlet berries that are lovely to behold (if the songbirds don't snap them up before you notice!). The foliage and berries are also popular for use in crafts and floral arrangements, so be sure to select a few to enjoy some of Heavenly Bamboo's beauty indoors.
Planting and Application:
Plant a few of these as a hedge along your property line for a splash of year-round color. One of these would also do well near your entryway or as a foundation plant. Staying low enough to not block your windows, these 4-5 foot tall shrubs only spread 3 feet, making them ideal backdrops, mid-sized hedges, and colorful year-round privacy screens!
Add their colorful presence throughout the Rock Garden or Xeric plantings where these shrubs, also known as Sacred Bamboo, really shine! Low-maintenance and easy to grow, a mass planting will light up even the harshest commercial site or trickiest landscape!
Lacy and finely textured, plus tidy and never disheveled looking, Compact Heavenly Bamboo is perfect to add drama to a mixed shrub border, creating a tropical feel to your patio seating areas and poolside plantings, in Asian-Inspired Gardens, or as a fine-textured counterpoint to a Rose Garden! Even large planters and half whiskey barrels can accommodate these adaptable shrubs!
- Coppery New Spring Growth
- Vibrant Green Foliage All Summer
- Pretty White Star-Shaped Flowers
- Purple Tinted Red Fall Foliage
- Broadleaf Evergreen With Fall & Winter Color
- Useful in Crafts & Floral Arrangements
- Year-Round Interest, Hedges, Screens & Containers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Hardy throughout a wider range than other Nandina, Compact Heavenly Bamboo thrives throughout USDA planting zones 6 to 10! For the best color, plant Nandina in full sun, but in the hottest of their growing zones, they appreciate some afternoon shade. In cooler growing zones, Nandina acts like deciduous or semi-evergreen shrubs and will lose their foliage in the winter.
For the best color, plant Nandina in full sun, but in the hottest of their growing zones, they appreciate some afternoon shade. Plant in about any kind of well-drained soil with regular moisture access at first, then once they are established, Nandina is hardy and Xeric, disease and pest-resistant, and generally easy to care for. A 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch around their roots helps hold in moisture and enriches the soil!
Because some areas allow Nandina to thrive a bit too well, not all locations around the US can have Nandina shipped into their State. Enter your Zip Code in the Plant Highlights section to find your Hardiness Zone on this page and you'll see if Nature Hills can ship Nandina safely into your area. Nature Hills Nursery is at the forefront of environmental regulatory compliance with all agricultural laws. We use an online tool called Plant Sentry™, which blocks shipments of plants that can behave invasively in your locale.

- Almost Any Well-Drained Soil

For a spectacular fall display that lasts into winter, spring flowers, and a verdant summer presentation, Compact Heavenly Bamboo is the shrub to choose!
