Its compact size makes Nandina Moon Bay great for low hedges and borders or as an accent plant. It is self-shaping, requiring very little pruning!

A kaleidoscope of colours that will enhance any space!

 

CARE AND GROWTH:

Nandina Moon Bay will thrive in a full sun to part shade position. Adequate sunlight in important to ensure it maintains its vibrant foliage colours. Water regularly after planting for the first twelve weeks as this is the plants establishment period. After this, they will become more drought tolerant. Note: On extremely hot or windy days, increase watering to avoid the plant drying out.

Nandina Moon bay can tolerate most soil types but as with most plants, a well-draining soil works best! Fertilise in Spring with slow-release fertiliser and optionally, add a layer of mulch around the plants. Nandina Moon Bay naturally grows in a neat, upright clump so pruning is rarely required, making it a very low maintenance option.

 

PLANTING IDEAS:

Low Hedge/Border: Nandina Moon Bay will grow to an approximate height of 80cm, making it ideal as an informal low hedge or border. If space allows, you could plant a larger hedge behind or use groundcovers in front to complement the Nandina’s ever changing colour palette.

Accent/Mass Planting: Nandina Moon Bay looks fantastic when mass planted, with its vibrant colours enhancing any space!

Pots/Containers: Its compact size make it ideal for use as a feature plant in a decorative pot or containers. Great for smaller spaces such as patios and balconies. Works great in a clustered arrangement of pots!

Ornamental Plant: Nandina Moon Bay is often planted for its ornamental value, providing interest throughout the year with its changing foliage colours.

Nandina Moon Bay will add splashes of colour to any space with its incredible range of foliage colours from lime green, apricot, red and burgundy. When it comes to what you can plant with it, the possibilities are endless!

 

SPACING:

Recommended spacing will depend on your intended use but for hedging we suggest the following;

For smaller pot sizes (140mm and 200mm) we recommend 3-4 plants per metre and for larger pot sizes (300mm and 400mm), 2-3 plants per metre. This is a guide only.

For accent planting, every 1-1.5m is ideal.
