Description:
Nandina ‘Gulf Stream’ is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its soft, finely textured foliage that transforms with the seasons. New growth emerges in vibrant copper and red tones, maturing to lush green before turning brilliant red in autumn and winter. With its dense, rounded form and year-round colour, ‘Gulf Stream’ is ideal for borders, low hedging, and pots, and suits both modern and traditional garden designs.
Flowers:
Delicate white star-shaped flowers appear in late spring to early summer in small clusters. Though subtle, they add seasonal charm.
Foliage:
Lacy, fern-like foliage changes throughout the seasons—bronze-red new growth in spring, deep green in summer, and fiery red in cooler months. The colour variation provides continuous visual interest.
Fruit:
Small red berries may appear in autumn after flowering, though less frequently on this compact cultivar.
Form & Size:
Naturally rounded, compact shrub growing approximately 60–90cm high and wide.
Growing Conditions:
-
Position: Prefers full sun to part shade.
-
Soil: Tolerates a wide range of well-drained soils; best in slightly acidic, organic-rich soil.
-
Climate: Grows well in temperate and subtropical climates. Tolerates light frost and dry conditions once established.
-
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established; water regularly during extended dry periods for best colour.
Uses:
-
Ideal for borders, low hedging, or feature planting.
-
Excellent in pots and containers for patios and entrances.
-
Suitable for Japanese, tropical, and formal garden styles.
Maintenance:
-
Extremely low-maintenance.
-
Trim lightly to maintain shape or size if needed.
-
Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth.
Notes:
-
Non-invasive and sterile – does not spread like traditional Nandina varieties.
-
Provides colour without flowers – perfect for foliage-focused plantings.
-
Fire retardant and suitable for bushfire-prone areas.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with Lomandra, Liriope, Westringia, and Gardenia radicans for a lush, contrasting planting scheme.
