Heavenly Bamboo is not a true bamboo but its lacy foliage and cane-like stems resemble bamboo. 'Gulf Stream' is a dwarf, round Nandina variety with upright stems that easily branches laterally and at the base. The dense green foliage is ever-changing as new growth emerges pinkish-bronze in the spring changing blue-green by summer then becomes an intense red winter color. Loose clusters of small white flowers bloom in late spring or early summer. Use this compact evergreen shrub along walkways, foundations, in borders, or containers.
How large does it typically grow and what is its habit?
Mature size is around 3-4 ft tall and about 3-5 ft wide. Its habit is upright and symmetrical, making it manageable.
What light and site conditions does it prefer?
It does best in full sun to partial shade. In full sun the foliage colour is more vibrant. It tolerates a range of soils as long as drainage is good.
What are the watering and soil requirements?
Plant in moist but well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then moderately once it’s settled. It tolerates some drought.
Are there special maintenance or pruning needs?
Minimal maintenance is required. Light pruning to remove over-tall canes or to maintain shape in late winter works. Avoid heavy shearing that damages its natural form.
