Obsession Nandina
Nandina domestica 'Seika'Nandina Obsession is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its exceptionally bright red foliage that holds its color longer than most nandina varieties. New growth emerges a vivid crimson and often remains richly colored throughout the year, creating continuous visual impact. Its compact, upright habit and dense branching make it an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, and mass groupings where consistent color is desired.
This variety is especially popular in contemporary landscapes due to its tidy growth and minimal maintenance needs. Unlike traditional nandinas, Obsession rarely produces flowers or berries, keeping the focus on foliage color and reducing cleanup. It pairs beautifully with green or gold-toned plants and works well in both formal and informal designs. With strong performance, adaptability, and long-lasting color, Nandina Obsession is an outstanding choice for gardeners seeking dependable year-round interest.
