Overview
Nandina domestica 'Twilight' is a distinctive heavenly bamboo grown primarily for its dramatic variegated foliage. Each leaf is uniquely splashed and speckled with creamy white against rich green, creating year-round interest that brightens borders and containers alike. Fresh new growth often emerges with pink or bronze tones before maturing, adding further seasonal appeal. With its neat, upright habit, 'Twilight' is an excellent choice for contemporary planting, woodland-style gardens or as a feature plant in decorative patio containers.
Why We Love It
'Twilight' stands out from other nandinas thanks to its boldly variegated foliage, which provides year-round colour without relying on flowers. It works beautifully as a specimen in a patio pot, brings contrast to mixed shrub borders and complements both modern and traditional garden designs.
