Nandina Flirt

Nandina Flirt

Flirt Nandina is a refined, compact evergreen shrub admired for its vibrant red new growth that gradually transitions to deep green foliage. This color contrast provides continuous visual interest from spring through fall, while cooler temperatures may bring back deeper red tones. Its neat, upright habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, and container gardens where space is limited.

Unlike traditional nandina varieties, Flirt maintains a controlled size and does not require frequent pruning. Its fine-textured foliage creates a soft, elegant look that blends well with both flowering perennials and evergreen shrubs. Highly adaptable and easy to grow, it thrives in a wide range of landscape settings and is especially valued for its low maintenance needs. With reliable performance and year-round appeal, it is a versatile addition to modern and traditional gardens alike.
