Description

Obsession Heavenly Bamboo is a vibrant, compact shrub that delivers a stunning show of fiery red foliage across all four seasons. Its new growth emerges a brilliant scarlet-red, and the color intensifies and holds exceptionally well throughout the year, especially in full sun. This dense, upright plant maintains a neat, rounded form without pruning and produces white flowers and red berries. It's the perfect low-maintenance choice for adding a permanent splash of high-impact color to containers, mixed borders, or foundation plantings.

  • Four Seasons of Fiery Color: New foliage is intense scarlet-red, with mature leaves holding rich red and bronze tones year-round, peaking in vibrant crimson in winter.

  • Compact, Self-Shaping Habit: Grows in a naturally dense, symmetrical, and rounded mound, reaching 2-3 feet tall and wide with no pruning needed.

  • Continuous Color Interest: The consistent red coloration means there is no "green phase"; the plant provides reliable color from spring through winter.

  • Sterile & Non-Invasive: This cultivar is non-fertile, producing few to no berries, eliminating concerns about unwanted spread.

  • Deer Resistant & Tough: Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and resistant to deer browsing.
