Nandina domestica ‘Sienna Sunrise’

 

‘Sienna Sunrise’ is a compact mid-height cultivar growing in a tight mound to about four feet. Intense fiery red new foliage cools to lush medium green in summer. Red highlights reappear in fall and winter. Clusters of small white summer flowers give way to bright orange-red winter fruit. Not a bamboo at all but a non-invasive relative of Mahonia, the Oregon grape. Nandinas are incredibly versatile and useful evergreen shrubs with great foliage interest. Full shade right up to full sun!
