Description
Nandina domestica 'Wood's Dwarf' is a dwarf variety of sacred bamboo that stands out for its dense and beautifully rounded habit, as well as for its truly flamboyant autumn and winter colours. Its purplish-red young shoots unfold into green leaves composed of large leaflets that turn bright red with orange highlights in autumn and winter. Well-suited for small spaces and terrace decoration, this extremely decorative bush is easily grown in ordinary garden soil, even if very dry in summer.
'Wood's Dwarf' belongs to the Berberidaceae family. This small bush has a slow growth rate and its adult size will not exceed 1m (3ft) in height and 60cm (24in) in width after many years. Taller than wide, it forms a dense mass, supported by short stems resembling those of bamboo. It is beautiful throughout the year with evergreen foliage that changes colour, but this variety flowers infrequently and rarely produces fruits. When it does flower, it is in summer and appears as upright panicles adorned with small white flowers, sometimes followed by red berries. The leaves are divided into lanceolate leaflets, with barely noticeable ruffles. The root of this plant is a rhizome that can produce suckers, allowing it to spread somewhat in width.
Nandina domestica 'Wood's Dwarf' is particularly admirable in large plantings, along a path, or to dress the base of light-foliaged shrubs or trees. It can be paired with dwarf spireas (Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess'), colourful foliage Physocarpus ('Little Devil', 'Amber Jubilee', 'Dart's Gold'), Euphorbia griffithii 'Fire Glow', a Compact Winged Euonymus, or even dwarf Berberis 'Bagatelle'. Each of these scenes will be a success. This small bush will also be magnificent in a large pot on a terrace, in a non-burning exposure, and with regular watering.

Planting and care
Plant in soft, deep, well-drained, even slightly calcareous, moderately dry to moist soil. Once well-established, it will completely do without watering in summer. It prefers sunny but not scorching situations, or partial shade. Avoid drying winds and provide a location sheltered from severe cold. This bush is hardy down to -15°C (5°F) under optimal conditions, so it would be wise to protect its base with a thick layer of dead leaves before winter in the coldest regions. If the aboveground part were to freeze, the plant should be pruned back to ground level in February-March. Pruning is limited to removing dead wood and excess or weak branches in winter.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
