IN YOUR GARDEN: Heavenly bamboo

With Jenny Watts Heavenly Bamboo Nandina domestica has to be near the top of any list of desirably attractive, easy-to-care-for, mid-sized shrubs for the home garden. Large clusters of creamy or pinkish white blossoms appear in late spring, followed by showy red berries that hang on the plants into the winter, until the birds discover them and enjoy the tasty winter treat.
