  • Description

  • Notes

Nandina dom. 'Filamentosa' is an evergreen or semideciduous shrub. Slow to moderate growth to 6-8 ft. Leaves are intricately divided into many 1-2 in. pointed, oval leaflets, creating lacy patterns. Foliage expands pinkish and bronzy red, then turns to soft light green. Pinkish white or creamy white blossoms in loose erect, 6-12 in. clusters at branch ends, in late spring or early summer.
Planting instructions: Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 2-3' diameter circle. Water lavishly.
