Blush Pink™ Nandina
Nandina domestica 'AKA' PP19916Blush Pink Nandina is a graceful evergreen shrub admired for its soft pink flush of new growth that gradually transitions to fresh green foliage. This gentle color change adds subtle interest and movement to the landscape, especially in spring and cooler months. Its compact, upright habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, and mixed shrub beds where controlled growth and refined texture are desired.
Unlike larger nandina varieties, Blush Pink maintains a neat size and requires minimal pruning to look its best. The finely textured foliage creates a light, airy appearance that complements both flowering plants and bold-leaved shrubs. Its adaptability to a range of light conditions and soils makes it a dependable, low-maintenance option for residential landscapes. With year-round evergreen appeal and seasonal color highlights, Blush Pink Nandina is well-suited for modern gardens, entryways, and accent plantings.
