Nandina

This is Nandina domestica. It is also called Heavenly bamboo. These bushes are in Patty's garden, and are really pretty right now. They are full of red berries and the leaves are varying shades of green and bronze and bright red.
Nandina is an evergreen shrub, although it does show fall color, and drop some of its leaves. In early summer, it has clusters of white flowers that turn into these clusters of red berries in the fall through winter. The berries are toxic to birds, so they usually last on the bushes, since nobody eats them.
I have also read that they grow well here, and are somewhat deer resistant. Good news there.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
