Nandina domestica Twilight
Sacred bamboo
Common Name: Heavenly bamboo or Sacred bamboo Latin Name: Nandina domestica ‘Twilight’ Soil: Any moist but well drained Position: Full sun or partial shade Hardiness: Half hardy - requires shelter Flowering Period: Summer Flowering Colour: White Eventual Height/Spread: 1.2m/ 0.5m. Special feature: Variegated leaves and different leaf colours on the same plant. If you want a colourful evergreen that won’t take up too much space then the 'Twilight is a wonderful choice. This heavenly bamboo has so much to offer, but its foliage is certainly its best feature: new leaves emerge coppery-pink and mature to mid-green, but with prominent splashes of creamy yellow; new shoots continue to come through over spring and summer, so you get so much foliage variety on one small plant. Aside from the variegated leaves, summer also sees the arrival of sprays of small, white flowers, which are popular with insects. The 'Twilight' maintains an upright, bushy habit and is highly versatile, so it works well in a pot, or in a bed or border. Plant it alongside another colourful evergreen, like the Nandina domestica 'Obsession', for year-round vibrancy.

In summer you also get panicles of small, white flowers and these later become glossy red berries in autumn. The autumn leaf colour is also something to note, as the leaves turn to blistering shades of red. It is a more compact version of the popular 'Nandina domestica' and it is therefore suitable for a small space. Try it in a pot on a sunny patio. You will get the best leaf colour when this is planted in full sun, or very light shade.

Quercus myrsinifolia
Bamboo
Common Name: Bamboo-Leaved Oak Latin Name: Quercus myrsinifolia Soil: Any deep, well-drained, lime-free soil Position: Full sun or partial shade Hardiness: Fully hardy Eventual height/spread: 15m+/8m+ Special features: Bamboo-like leaves with a purple blush to new foliage (evergreen). If you want a tree that will add structure to your garden, as well as a healthy dose of year-round colour, then the Quercus myrsinifolia is a fantastic choice. Although it still grows to be a mighty tree, this Chinese native is smaller than the British native, Quercus robur, and it maintains a fairly compact habit. The foliage adds ornamental value as new leaves shoot through with a purple, sometimes red, blush. Once mature, the lanceolate leaves turn to a rich mid-green colour. In autumn, ovoid acorns appear and these make a great source of food for wildlife. This hardy evergreen enjoys a sunny spot in the garden, but it can tolerate some shade. Plant it alongside another bold evergreen, like the Eucalyptus gunnii, as the differing foliage colours will give you a verdant show all year round.
