More about this plant
Blush Pink is a dwarf nandina about 2 feet high and 1.5 to 2 feet wide, grown for the bright pink new growth that softens to blush tones before deepening to green as the leaves mature. The foliage is evergreen and gives year round interest, and the plant does not flower. It prefers part shade to shade with medium water, takes clay, loam or sand across a wide pH range with good drainage, and is deer, disease and pest resistant. Use it as a low hedge, a border, a container plant or a colour accent among darker evergreen shrubs. All parts of nandina are poisonous if eaten.
