Nandina Domestica 'Gulf Stream' is a moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6A through 9A. It matures to an average height of 2 feet to 3 feet and an average width of 2 feet to 3 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, morning sun with afternoon shade or morning shade with afternoon sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained. The foliage is blue green, red and orange in color. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer, drought, insects, diseases, mildew and heat.
Gulf Stream Nandina can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in mass plantings, in foundation plantings, as a border or edger, in shrub borders, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, as an accent, in landscape beds or islands, to add property value or to accentuate entryways and also in rock or xeriscape gardens, theme gardens or shade gardens.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Gulf Stream Nandina is a compact version of Bamboo Nandina that grows to about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide with a much denser habit. The shrub is bamboo-like in appearance with upright cane-like stems and finely-textured evergreen foliage that turns to a firey orange-red during winter. No berries are produced on this variety.
Uses
Gulf Stream is useful in foundation plantings to accentuate entryways, as a low hedge, colorful accent plant, or to screen low air conditioning units. It is truly outstanding when planted in large groups in sunny to partially shaded landscape beds.
Culture & Care Tips

The plant came fresh and very well wrapped. This was my first time ordering a plant on line but would do it again. I only wish I'd ordered a larger size but it will grow.
Hi Donald - Thanks so much for taking the time to provide us and visitors to Gardener Direct with your review! We are very happy to hear that you were pleased with the Gulf Stream Nandina. This is a dwarf nandina so the 1 gallon size isn't as large as would be a standard nandina. When planted properly in well-draining soil and fed in spring with a good shrub & tree type fertilizer containing micro nutrients you should get a good growth rate...perhaps double in size after the first growth season. Just make sure the soil in the planting area is well-drained as nandina do not like wet feet. Let us know if there's ever anything else we can help you with. We're at your service!
Love the nandina.
