Nandina domestica Obsessed ('Seika') (PBR) (15 litre pot | 30 - 50cm tall)

Great for patio pots and shrub borders. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) A compact evergreen shrub, Obsessed ('Seika'), is primarily grown for its handsome foliage, which if grown in full sun, is a fiery shade of red when it first emerges in spring, before turning a rich green as it ages. The conical clusters of white flowers it produces in midsummer are also pretty and add further to the plant's appeal. A good choice for patio pots where it will provide year-round interest, it also makes an interesting (and colourful) addition to the front of a shrub border. Garden care: Select a sheltered location in full sun or partial shade, with well drained soil. When planting, mix some well-rotted garden compost into the excavated soil of the planting hole and dust the plant’s rootball with mycorrhizal fungi. Water in well and keep well watered during warm, dry periods. Once established, Nandina require little or no pruning. When required, prune in mid to late spring.
