#ProPlantTips for Care:

These highly adaptable shrubs are easy to care for and grow! The Moon Bay Heavenly Bamboo will be happy in a full-sun or partial-sun location but appreciate shaded conditions in hotter growing zones, especially shade in the afternoon. Nandina must have well-drained soil of any kind. Water your Heavenly Bamboo plant regularly just like any other plant. If you're unsure, you can test the soil by feeling it with your pointer finger near the base of the plant. If it is moist, don't water it. If it's dry, give it a good soak! Add 3-4 inches of arborist mulch over the root system to keep it cool and hold moisture in more consistently.

All this adaptability and the fact birds eat the seeds and spread them far and wide, meaning in some locations, Nandina grows where it should not.
