Noteworthy Characteristics

The foliage of Nandina turns red only during the winter, right? Well, not anymore...at least not with the new Flirt™ Dwarf Nandina. Unlike Harbour Dwarf Nandina, which is green throughout the warm season and goes to red in winter, Flirt™ Dwarf, a sport of Harbour Dwarf, produces stunning red new growth during the spring, summer and fall! Then, druing winter it goes almost completely red. So now you can have splashes of outstanding red color year round in the landscape! In spring, pretty panicles of white flowers rise above and contrast wonderfully with the red foliage. Unlike other flowering and berry-producing nandinas, the berries/seeds produced by Flirt™ Dwarf are sterile, making it a safe choice as it will not spread from seed.

Uses

When spaced 24 inches apart plants will fill in nicely to form a soft-textured patch in the garden, making it a perfect choice for underplanting small trees such as Dogwoods, Redbuds or upright Japanese Maples, and Crape Myrtles.

Culture & Care Tips

As with other Nandina, Flirt™ Dwarf is exceptionally drought, heat, cold and humidity tolerant. Through experimenting with Flirt™ Dwarf in our trial gardens we've found that it does equally as well in full sun or partial shade. We've used Flirt™ Dwarf in both shady and sunny areas of our gardens. Well-drained soil is a must!
