Thank you all - could it go in a walled patio? 40cm in width, height of wall is 50cm, however it is being built on existing ground so roots will have plenty of room to go down into the ground. The size of patio is 3.5m2 - 2 sides will have the flower bed :-) thank you!
Nadinas do well in sun, so not an issue. Not sure which one it is, but going by the leaf, I think it's the straight Nadina Domestica which has quite an open habit and if left un-pruned, can get to 2 meters in height, but rather slow grower. Other newer types tend to stay more compact, but they don't spread too wide, so a good border plant in general.
I think if you go for the Domestica, that might get a bit too big as @Borderline says, although you can keep in in check. There are lots of smaller varieties available such as Moon Bay which l have just purchased 😊.
@fizzyliz Think there are various new forms now available, there is variegated one called Twilight but I am not sure if it is worth growing. Nandinia as is your photo is well worth growing.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
