NANDINA ‘BLUSH PINK’
Nandina Domestica ‘Blush Pink’ is a particularly flamboyant cultivar with blush pink young foliage in spring.

During the following year then leaves mature to green, but the fabulous colours are replaced by a new flush of pink growth. This vibrant plant bears dainty white flowers in July followed by small red berries. This superb semi-evergreen shrub makes an ideal specimen plant with plenty of year round interest. A lovely. low maintenance addition to borders, patio containers and exotic planting schemes.
