PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS PLANT:
Nanadina is extremely hardy in that it can take transplanting, dry and moist soils, bad soils, heat and frosts to a certain extent. When not pruned it can look slightly messy, but has an upright almost columnar form at times. It can look great in massings as a screen or mixed in with other evergreen shrubs to give a varying texture and color.
