Comments: 
Nandina domestica or Heavenly Bamboo Nandina is an attractive broadleaf shrub with a moderate growth.  It is a carefree and low maintenance perennial.  The beautiful colored leaves of Heavenly Bamboo Nandina and its clusters of bright red berries provide winter interests.  Nandina domestica makes an ideal specimen plant in the landscaping garden.  Grow them in masses as an attractive windbreaker or as a container plant for indoor or to accent the patio or decorate your deck.  I love Nandina domestica for its ornamental looks.
