It's a what??

This is one plant that probably everyone has seen, but doesn't realize that there are different varieties!  What you are looking at is Nandina 'Ori Hime'...AKA 'San Gabriel' & 'Filamentosa'.  Nandina's are quite possibly the most popular landscape in the entire world due to their ability to handle tough landscape situations.  This variety is a beautiful lacy specimen that will eventually reach 2'-3' tall.  I have had one planted at my parents near Crossville for around 4 years, and it seems to be doing fine!  Their hardiness is questionable above zone 6.  I recently planted one in Lebanon at the farm and will keep everyone posted on its growth!  So if you're looking for something that will stump some of your plant nerd friends, try Nandina 'Ori Hime'!
