Notes
'Murasaki' nandina (Nandina domestica 'Murasaki') is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays evergreen, grows at a rapid pace, and tolerates drought and salt. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Birds visit it, and it blooms from spring into early summer.
Pairs well with Bigleaf hydrangea, Fountain grass, and Balloon flower.
