Nandina domestica ‘Harbour Dwarf’
Description
Looking for a small, low-maintenance shrub with big landscape impact? The Harbour Dwarf Nandina is the perfect choice! Truly a dwarf Nandina, the Harbour Dwarf stays small and compact, growing just 2-3 feet tall and wide. Its small footprint makes it perfect for foundation plantings, mixed borders and even groundcover. You can even use it as a backdrop in containers!
Nandinas provide the perfect pop of color – and Harbour Dwarf is no exception. New growth emerges a pink-copper hue, and turns a vibrant bronze-red in fall. This easy-going shrub will provide a welcome contrast against greener plants and trees.
The best part? This dwarf Nandina shrub is low-maintenance, with great tolerance to any soil and minimal care requirements. Plus, the Harbour Dwarf does not fruit heavily – making it less likely to spread where it’s not wanted and safer for local wildlife.
Planting
Plant your Nandina in an area that receives full to partial sunlight (a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil. Once you’ve selected your location, dig a hole that’s large enough to accommodate your shrub’s root ball, place your shrub, and water the surrounding soil.
Watering
Let your soil dry to the touch down to about 2 inches in between waterings. Once your soil is dry, give your Nandina a deep watering at the base.
Fertilizing
Fertilize your Nandina at the beginning of every spring and in the middle of summer with an acidic fertilizer.
