ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of
Nandina domestica,
a member of the Berberidaceae family, commonly known as Heavenly Bamboo. This new ‘Monum’ variety resulted from a naturally occurring, whole plant mutation discovered in a cultivated planting of the
Nandina domestica
variety ‘Compacta’ (unpatented). ‘Monum’ appeared different from ‘Compacta’ plants growing in #5 nursery containers in Azusa, Calif., and was initially discovered around May 1993. The ‘Monum’ variety differs from ‘Compacta’ and other Heavenly Bamboo plants known to the inventor due to its narrower, longer leaf and its unique, vibrant seasonal foliage coloration. In the spring, the ‘Monum’ foliage is deep purplish-red turning to dark green in the summer and reddish purple in the winter.
Nandina domestica
‘Monum’ has more vibrant seasonal foliage coloration than the parent
Nandina domestica
‘Compacta’ or any other known
Nandina domestica
cultivars known to the inventor.
‘Monum’ has been asexually reproduced by shoot tip culture and cuttings since its discovery in 1993 in Azusa, Calif. However, via extensive asexual propagation of this plant and observation of resulting progeny, it has been proven that the novel, exceptional characteristics of this new variety are fixed, stable, and that the new variety reproduces true to type through asexual propagation.
