Break free from the continual green of evergreen with the Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo Shrub (Nandina domestica 'Gulf Stream').

This beautiful shrub brings color to your property year-round in an easy-to-care-for shrub variety that growers simply can't resist. You won't miss your evergreens a bit with the continual color provided by the Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo Shrub.
You're in for a real treat with the Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo Shrub, since it goes through a range of changes as the seasons pass, each of them an aesthetic sensation. In the springtime, the shrub's new leaves emerge in a resplendent scarlet macaw red.
As spring gives way to summer, bask in the Gulf Stream's soft bluish green foliage that provides a contrasting backdrop the petite little white flowers that pop up all over the shrub. When the weather starts to cool, wait in anticipation as the foliage blushes to an intensely rich and fiery autumn red hue.
Perhaps no shrub is easier to maintain than the Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo Shrub. It naturally grows into a small, rounded shape, so you can keep those pruning shears tucked away and preserve your elbow grease.
Because of its easy-to-maintain properties, the Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo Shrub is an ideal variety for borders, mass plantings and even poolside beds or urban gardens. In Zones 6-11, these super tough shrubs can be planted without worry.
Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo Shrub handles nearly anything mother nature throws its way, from urban pollution to high humidity and cold weather. If you live in a fire-prone area, Gulf Stream is a beautiful plant on many 'firescaping or firewise' plant lists.
They are great container plants, too. Try them as the "Thriller" in your entryway pots. Gulf Stream looks great in so many garden styles, too - from Asian/Zen to Contemporary to Rustic and Cottage - that we are positive it will fit into your home landscape.
