Full Description – Nandina domestica ‘Obsessed’
Nandina domestica ‘Obsessed’ is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its vibrant foliage, striking colour changes, and ornamental berries. Unlike traditional Nandina varieties, ‘Obsessed’ maintains a tidy, dense habit, making it perfect for borders, containers, or small gardens where colour and structure are needed year-round.
New growth emerges in bright pink or red tones, maturing to rich green during summer and turning deep crimson in winter.
