| Lore | Nandina, known as nandin in China, was often planted on temple grounds where it symbolizes good fortune. This association led to its common name, heavenly bamboo. Its red berries are ripe at midwinter when sprigs are used to decorate homes on December 24 in honor of the kitchen god. |

| Design Ideas | This new cultivar is bred for increased color. Use to add bold and bright contrast to shaded, foliage-intensive landscapes. Graceful, tall and thin, it's perfect for narrow openings in paving. Indispensable for courtyards, entry gardens and high-profile niches in architecture.
