Get a free slavia blue note with your special offer for heavenly bamboo in the Country Life Nursery


Nandina domestica - otherwise known as heavenly bamboo - is a dwarf and compact cultivar nandina which has beautiful bright red leaves which are just starting to show colour for winter.
It looks brilliant in a shrub border, but also looks good in pots, or planted with other plants to show off its finery or to give contrast.
This beautiful autumn and winter plant likes moist soil and growing in the sunshine and this week we have a special reduced price from £12.99 for a 2 litre pot to just £4.99. .
We are also including a free Salvia greggii ‘Blue Note' with each order this week.
