Nandina domestica, commonly known as nandina, heavenly bamboo or sacred bamboo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia. Despite the common name, it is not a bamboo but an erect evergreen shrub up to 2 m tall by 1.5 m wide, with numerous, usually unbranched stems growing from ground level. The glossy leaves are sometimes deciduous in colder areas, 50–100 cm long. The young leaves in spring are brightly coloured pink to red before turning green, old leaves turn red or purple again before falling. The flowers are white, borne in early summer. The fruit is a bright red berry 5–10 mm diameter, ripening in late autumn and often persisting through the winter.

All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing hydrocyanic acid, and could potentially be fatal if ingested. Birds are generally not affected by these toxins and will disperse the seeds through their droppings. Nandina is widely grown in gardens as an ornamental plant and can take heat and cold, from (-23 - 43 °C). A true low-care plant, it needs no pruning, unless it is to harvest some leaves for use in a flower arrangement or berries for a holiday centerpiece, or occasionally to remove an old cane. The berries can also be left on the plants for birds to harvest in late winter. Spent berry stalks can easily be snapped off by hand in spring.
