Good condition upon arrival except that one of them has a habit a bit twisted. I hope it will shoot straight again in the spring.

Description
Nandina domestica Flirt 'Murasaki' is a new variety of sacred bamboo that stands out for its particularly compact and beautifully spread habit, well suited to small spaces and terrace decoration. This bushy plant has remarkably colourful evergreen foliage, which is dark red almost all year round, as suggested by the name 'Murasaki', which means purple in Japanese. The summer flowering, in panicles of small white flowers, often coincides with the fruiting of the previous year in clusters of intense red fruits. This original and sculptural bush can be used as ground cover and in borders, and it will be enhanced in a pot on a terrace.
Nandina domestica Flirt 'Murasaki' belongs to the Berberidaceae family. This cultivar was obtained by Magnolia Gardens Nursery in Texas (US) in 2005. It is based on Nandina domestica 'Harbour Dwarf', which also has a very compact habit. The growth of this small bush is slow and its adult size will not exceed 1m (3ft) in height after many years. Wider than it is tall, this plant forms a beautifully spreading but light mass, supported by short stems reminiscent of bamboo. It is beautiful all year round. Its young Bordeaux red-purple shoots then give way to finely toothed leaflets, which are pink-purple at budbreak, dark green in summer, before turning dark red again in autumn. In June-July, it produces small conical panicles of cream-white flowers. These are followed by clusters of highly decorative bright red fruits, if the summer is long and warm enough. They persist on the branches for a long time, creating a joyful scene in the winter light. The root of this plant is a root stock.
Nandina domestica Flirt 'Murasaki' is particularly admirable in large plantings, along a pathway, or to dress the base of bushes or trees with light foliage. It can be paired with dwarf spireas (Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess'), colourful foliage Physocarpus ('Little Devil', 'Amber Jubilee', 'Dart's Gold'), Euphorbia griffithii 'Fire Glow', or even a dwarf Berberis 'Bagatelle'. Each of these scenes will be a success. This small bush will also be magnificent in a large pot on a terrace, in a non-scorching exposure and with regular watering.

Planting and care
Plant in soft, deep, well-drained, even slightly calcareous, moderately dry to moist soil. Once well-established, it will completely do without watering in summer. It prefers sunny but not scorching situations, or partial shade. Avoid drying winds and provide a location sheltered from severe cold. This bush is hardy down to -15°C (5°F) under optimal conditions, so it would be wise to protect its base with a thick layer of dead leaves before winter in the coldest regions. If the aboveground part were to freeze, the plant should be pruned back to ground level in February-March. Pruning is limited to removing dead wood and excess or weak branches in winter.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
