  • Why we like this plant

    If you love rich seasonal colour with next to no fuss, Nandina 'Obsessed' is hard to beat. It brings drama from the moment new leaves unfurl in blazing red, softens into green for summer, then heats things up again in autumn. Compact, tidy, and reliably colourful, it's ideal for pots, patios, or giving borders a bold edge—all with hardly any work.

  • About this plant

    Nandina 'Obsessed' is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its vivid, changing foliage. New growth emerges in a rich, fiery red, maturing to deep green, before transitioning again to bright crimson in autumn and winter. Unlike some nandinas, 'Obsessed' keeps its colour compact and concentrated, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, and colourful structure planting. It requires minimal maintenance and provides standout interest all year.

Planting guide

Plant in well-drained soil in a sheltered spot. Ideal in containers or as low hedging. Water well during dry spells in the first year and mulch annually.

Care tips

Requires little to no pruning—just remove damaged or dead stems in spring. Mulch annually and feed if container-grown.

Winter care

No special winter care required. In exposed areas, a mulch around the base helps protect roots. Leaves may bronze slightly in extreme cold but recover well.
