Red, red, and more red! Of all the exciting innovations in the latest plant varieties, the Flirt™ Nandina PP#21391 (Nandina domestica 'Murasaki') from Southern Living® Plants makes our hearts pound just a little faster! Flirt™ Nandina, also known as Heavenly Bamboo and Sacred Bamboo, takes the cake when it comes to color and compact, versatile size!
You know that red-hot feeling you get when you feel the spark of flirting? Whether it be your spouse of thirty years or a new fling, the Flirt™ Nandina embodies that excitement and inner glow!
Its new growth leaves burn a bright Moscato red to a deep red violet. Making the show even more inspiring is the fact that the existing broadleaf evergreen foliage is a deep bluish-green with hints of red-purple. Because of the intensity of the new growth's red, this Nandina offers some of the highest contrast you can find. Each new leaf jumps out against the existing foliage, magnifying the form of each individual new leaf!
The red stems show off against the foliage and highlight the butterfly-friendly white flowers and later emerging wine-colored fall leaves and red berries!
This dwarf Nandina rarely reaches above two feet tall and about the same in width. Unlike other Nandina, this compact variety will not go haywire and take over your entire garden! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 6 to 9 where it is heat and humidity-resistant and easy to grow!
Planting and Application:
Use your Flirt™ Nandina to add drama to your container garden to add space-saving low-growing color into mixed planters. Add this flirty Dwarf Heavenly Bamboo to add their colorful year-round waves of red blush to porches, patios, and around the back deck without taking up much space!
A mass planting of Flirt™ Nandinas makes a marvelous landscape feature, providing low-maintenance color and water-wise drifts of year-round beauty! Nandina is perfect for creating large stretching swaths for Firewise defensive plans!
Use a row as a fantastic foundation planting or to spice up a weary conifer hedge! Tuck into the front of your mixed shrub borders! The smaller size and space-saving bundle of vivid color is perfect to use as edging along your landscape beds and in Rock Gardens.
Urban environment and pollution-tolerant, Nandina is perfect for city properties and small lots, postage-stamp courtyards, and even apartment dwellers' balcony gardens!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Flirt™ Nandina in full sun to partial shade and water carefully until it's fully established. Any well-drained soil location is perfect for Nandina, and they become water-wise once established. Add 3-4 inches of arborist mulch over the root system to keep it cool and hold moisture in more consistently.
Rarely requiring pruning because of their neat and tidy natural form, if you do wish to trim these shrubs, do so after flowering. This striking plant is pest and disease-resistant and works well wherever you need a burst of color.
Unfortunately, Nandina pops up where it should not in some areas, because birds eat the berries and spread them far and wide. 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 Plant Sentry™, an online tool that blocks shipments of plants that can behave invasively in your locale.
