Nandina domestica 'Monfar' | Sienna Sunrise Heavenly Bamboo

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Nandina domestica 'Monfar' produces airy clusters of small white flowers in late spring to early summer, the delicate blooms held above the foliage in loose sprays. The blossoms are followed by bright red berries that persist into winter, adding color through the colder months. Finely divided leaves form soft, bamboo-like foliage that emerges fresh green and gradually develops rich burgundy and crimson tones as temperatures cool, creating changing color through the seasons.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Nandina domestica native to eastern Asia, including China and Japan. In gardens it adds colorful evergreen structure to borders, foundation plantings, and mixed shrub beds where the berries and seasonal foliage provide lasting interest.
