Nandina Compacta

The Nandina Compacta is similar to our other Nandinas except it features a smaller size. The evergreen leaves provide a beautiful backdrop for the long lasting, white, star-shaped summer flowers. The leaves do have a tendency to turn redish purple during the winter time. Often used as a border plant or a filler plant, the Nandina Compacta is sure to add beauty to any area it is placed.
