For a pleasant medium-sized addition to your landscaping setup, go with the Gulf Stream Nandina. This bush is known as being very hardy, as it can survive long stretches without being watered. Additionally, it’s extremely resistant to fungi, viruses, and a variety of other diseases. And the best part? It’s evergreen, providing color even during the coldest months.
The Gulf Stream Nandina usually grows to 3’-3.5’ high with a nearly equal spread of 3’. The bush is an early bloomer, sprouting brilliant bright white flowers and green foliage in the spring and summer. Best used as a hedge in firescaping, this plant can also be utilized for privacy, as a border plant, or in mass plantings.
Gulf Stream Nandina Care
When it comes to care, the main concern for this bush is sunlight. At minimum, it requires partial sun, although full lighting exposure is best for growth. While taking root, a regular watering schedule is required. However, once established, this bush is drought-tolerant and is capable of withstanding very dry conditions. Pruning is easy, as the removal of dead or broken limbs is all that’s required.
Gulf Stream Nandina Spacing
Depending on its use, spacing can be tricky. For practical purposes, you’ll want to allow about 3’ per plant. If it’s being used for firescaping, wind protection, or privacy, dwindle down the space to fit your needs.
