It is one of the more ubiquitous plants in area gardens. It also makes the invasive species list in some parts of the country, but here snobby gardeners just consider it overplanted, and passe, but not me. Your Moyer's color is a good example of why I like it.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-49466212531319557632015-01-24T07:38:07.290-08:002015-01-24T07:38:07.290-08:00Nandina's knobby stems do look sort of like ba...Nandina's knobby stems do look sort of like bamboo when the leaves fall off older stems if you squint a little. I expect the name originated from some matron who wanted her plants to sound more important than they were. Nandina is called a weed by the National Forest Service and considered invasive in some southern states.<br /><br />Nandina was one of the shrubs that my MIL used to try to disguise the cow pens. Mama did not have any after her yard man destroyed them when her back was turned, muttering that they were 'fitten only for [expletive deleted] graveyards. Birds plant them here and there in my garden. I grub them out as the mood strikes me. <br /><br />Nandinas are one of the last berries that birds finally eat here in winter, second only to Fparkleberry in longevity on the stem.
