More about this plant
Obsession nandina is an upright, compact, dense evergreen shrub 3 to 4 feet high and wide with a moderate growth rate. Its fiery red new growth matures to deep green, and the red tones intensify again through winter for year round contrast. It takes part sun to shade, with the best foliage colour in full sun, and needs only medium water and very little once established. The cultivar is non invasive, deer resistant and disease and pest resistant. Use it for accents, containers, mass plantings, slopes, foundation beds, borders and low hedges. All parts of nandina are poisonous if eaten.
