Nandina 'Moon Bay'

Size: 30cm/33cm
Sale price$120.00

Nandina domestica 'Moon Bay', commonly known as Heavenly Bamboo, is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub prized for its fine, fern-like foliage and vibrant seasonal color changes. It reaches about 60 cm tall and 50 cm wide, forming a dense, compact, and naturally rounded habit—perfect for structured plantings.

New growth emerges pinkish-red in spring, turns green through summer, and deepens to rich red tones in autumn and winter, complemented by striking red bark. Small white summer flowers add subtle seasonal interest without overshadowing the foliage.

Thriving in full sun to part shade and well-drained soils, Heavenly Bamboo requires very low maintenance. Light pruning in spring or summer promotes shape and fresh growth. Moderate watering is needed, especially during establishment.

Ideal for low hedging, ornamental borders, mass plantings, and container gardening, 'Moon Bay' brings year-round charm with minimal effort.

How to Plant Nandina 'Moon Bay'

Planting Tips: Ensuring a Strong Start

Site Selection: Prefers full sun to part shade for best color development.

Digging the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper.

Planting: Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with native soil and water thoroughly.

Mulching: Apply a 5–7cm mulch layer around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Watering: Regular watering during establishment; once mature, occasional deep watering is sufficient.
