Add vibrant year-round color and easy-care beauty to your landscape with this live Moon Bay Heavenly Bamboo, Nandina domestica ‘Moon Bay’, a compact evergreen shrub prized for its colorful foliage and naturally rounded form. This dwarf nandina features lush green foliage through spring and summer before transforming into brilliant shades of red and gold in fall and winter, creating stunning seasonal contrast in the garden.

During summer, delicate white flowers appear above the foliage, followed by clusters of bright red berries that provide additional winter interest and attract birds when multiple plants are grown together. Compact and low maintenance, ‘Moon Bay’ reaches approximately 3 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for borders, foundation plantings, mixed shrub beds, patio containers, and low hedges.

Deer resistant, drought tolerant once established, and adaptable to sun or partial shade, this colorful ornamental shrub is an excellent choice for year-round landscape appeal.
