 I thought Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica) was always evergreen. The database shows a minimum hardiness zone of 6a so I'd think it would survive winters in your zone unless you had an exceptionally cold winter. You can try scratching a branch to see if there is any green wood; or prune a branch back a little way ... if all you find is brittle wood, than the plant may have expired.  ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| A couple hard Winters here have defoliated my Nandina each time. I have not pruned or did anything but water them in warm spells, and they always refresh their stems and leaves in Spring here. And interestingly, I see more new plants growing beneath them in bad Winters. I think the seeds need the cold. I am going to be transplanting the new shoots up in the Fall to expand them I really like Nandina! |
