Nandina Blush

Nandina domestica 'Blush' Nandina ‘Blush’ is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant foliage that changes colour throughout the seasons. New growth emerges in brilliant shades of red and pink before maturing to soft green tones, creating year-round colour and interest in the garden. Its naturally tidy, upright growth habit makes it ideal for borders, low hedging, feature planting, mass planting, or decorative pots. A hardy and colourful feature plant that delivers striking foliage contrast with minimal upkeep Position Blush is highly versatile and low maintenance, Nandina ‘Blush’ thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to a wide range of garden styles, from modern landscapes to tropical and cottage gardens. It is drought tolerant once established and requires very little pruning to maintain its neat appearance. Growth This slow to moderate-growing shrub reaches a mature height of 0.6–1 meter with a similar spread, forming a neat, rounded shape. Its seasonal foliage changes and tidy habit make it an excellent choice for creating colorful borders, ground cover, or as a feature plant in mixed plantings or pots. Planting Guide Nandina Blush grows best in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Plant year round, spacing plants about 50–60 cm apart for ground cover or low hedges. For container planting, use a high-quality potting mix and position the container in a sunny or partially shaded location. Water thoroughly after planting, and apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Plant Care Water regularly during the establishment phase, then reduce watering, as Moon Bay is drought-tolerant once mature. Feed with a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Prune lightly to maintain its compact shape and remove any old or damaged leaves as needed. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
