A compact, evergreen shrub prized for its finely textured foliage and rich, shifting color. New growth emerges bronze to copper, matures to soft green in summer, then deepens to fiery red and orange tones in fall and winter. Unlike some nandinas, 'Gulf Stream' rarely flowers or fruits, keeping its look clean and foliage-focused.
