Sharing one of my Nandina shrubs with you. I have these shrubs planted beside the front steps. They have pretty foliage. Greens mixed with some burgundy, as the season progresses. This photo is also being shared with today’s Nature Tuesday challenge.
There are many types of Nandina. The one I have is called Sienna Sunrise. Nandina shrubs display bright red fall foliage, and many varieties also provide beautifully colored new growth in spring. Sienna Sunrise is one such variety, putting on a spring show with its blazing red foliage and displaying red highlights in fall. Sienna Sunrise grows 2 feet wide and 3 to 4 feet tall.
I just learned this important fact while researching today: Nandina leaves and berries are toxic and may be harmful to birds, humans, grazing animals and cats.

Excellent post thanks for sharing
It looks really nice!! A greatly welcoming “bellboy” you’ve there!! hehe
I’d like to edit comments … sometimes people type things without thinking … it can happen to me when I lose my cool or someone else for various reasons … if ones realises that what she type is not nice or simply could be misunderstood, she could edit it before it “hurt” others … just what I think
Thanks, I am happy with these shrubs. I too would love to edit comments, always have complained but nobody listened. 🙁
Awe, he’s getting big! Great look for the front door area! It’s starting to turn already isn’t it. Or is it? We have these in the park I go to all the time. I love them. I remember when you planted this one. 😉 Why wuld we nede to edit coments? Grins…
Yes it is, I like them at the front. And the foliage is nice as the season progresses. No, it is mostly green now, a few browns mixed in. 🙂
It is a lovely decorative busy. The toxicity would make me nervous.
Thanks. Have read on other sites it is not toxic, so I don’t know. I have had them for many years and it hasn’t bothered me. I have my cats indoors and the birds seem fine.
We have similar shrubs here and they grow without us doing anything for them. Great image as always!
They are very low maintenance, I throw a little fertilizer their way a couple of times a year and that is it. Thanks!
Nandina is known for its hardiness and ability to flourish in full sun
Glad to see you are familiar with them.
I enjoy seeing your plants. I don’t have a lot that isn’t growing by nature mostly. I have big trees, …
Thanks, I have big pines, tulip polars, sycamore and cypress in the back.
That is the only problem with certain foliage – their toxicity
Thanks. Have read on other sites it is not toxic, so I don’t know. I have had them for many years and it hasn’t bothered me. I have my cats indoors and the birds seem fine.
A wonderful bush. Thank you for sharing very important information. I did not know it was poisonous.
Thanks and I did not know it was poisonous either. I am still researching other sites.
We have Nandina shrubs here too but I think I have not see it long time already. Yes, yes, I want the option to edit comments and even posts as I really leave unoticed mistakes often and it hurt my eyes later.
That is cool you have these too. I hope we can edit soon.
Very pretty! 🙂 Yes, it’s the little things… It’s very hot and humid here right now so my favorite thing to do is to take evening walks and rides out near the water 🙂 It’s almost that time of evening here 😀
Thank you Windy! Hot and humid here for way too long.
We are in need of a nice thunderstorm! We haven’t had much rain this summer thus far…
We have had three just today!
Lucky you <3 😀 Maybe we'll get a nice, evening one here tonight… I'd love to sit on the porch and sip coffee through it 🙂 Doesn't take much to make me happy lol
There was a tropical classic storm Barry, in Louisiana a few days ago. We are getting rain from that storm.
Natural Greenery attract me very much, your garden is owsum dear Carol.
You are so kind, thank you!
I’m not sure I know these bushes, my dear friend … it’s definitely beautiful
Thank you, I don’t think they grow in your area.
There are many varieties of this shrub.
Lovely shrub, very decorative. On another site, we can edit the comments and it is really great because when writing the comment I don’t always notice I made a mistake until I have posted it and reread it.
Thanks, I enjoy them. Yes I love being able to have more control over our comments and posts.
I do not like typos and I have seen many after they were published. Frustrating for sure.
I love that shrub, Carol. It’s very pretty. And yes, I think it would be useful if we could edit our comments, as sometimes I don’t notice I’ve made a mistake until after I’ve posted it.
Thank you very much, I have two on each side. I keep hoping things will change and we can edit.
I love the shrubs that turn red. We have some all along the back of our deck; but I couldn’t tell you what they are.
Yes I do too and the trees to. Thanks!
Also, there re many varieties of the Nandina, you could have one of these.
Your blooms are white. I also like the one with the red leaves.
No white blooms on these. These will turn burgundy in a couple of months.
They have little brown now, and those will be burgundy soon.
