NANDINA DOMESTICA BLUSH PINK (R-ROYALTY)
Nandina domestica 'Blush Pink' is a compact, evergreen variety of Nandina,
particularly appreciated for the liveliness of its foliage, which changes color with the passing
of the seasons, offering constant ornamental interest throughout the year. A slow-growing, small-sized
shrub, it is ideal for borders, rock gardens, mixed flowerbeds or
for growing in pots.
This variety is distinguished by the unique color of its young foliage: the new leaves
emerge with pale pink and powder tones, hence the name ‘Blush Pink’, and then gradually
turn to a light, bright green during the summer. With the arrival of autumn,
the foliage once again takes on warm shades — pink, orange and copper —
remaining decorative even in the winter months.
Nandina 'Blush Pink' It does not produce flowers or berries as significantly as the type species,
but it makes up for it with the beauty and dynamism of its foliage, which remains its
main strong point. The habit is tidy, compact and rounded, with a light
but well-branched structure, which does not require regular pruning to maintain its shape.
This variety generally reaches a maximum height and width of about
60–70 cm, adapting perfectly even to small spaces or container compositions.
It prefers exposures in full sun or partial shade and grows well in well-drained,
slightly acidic or neutral soils. Once well-rooted, it is resistant to drought and low
temperatures, making it a reliable choice even in temperate climates.
Due to its refined color and compact habit, Nandina domestica 'Blush Pink'
is particularly suitable for those looking for a low-maintenance decorative plant,
capable of bringing color and structure to the garden during all seasons.
