| History | ‘Tuscan Flame’ was discovered in 2000, as a vegetative branch sport observed on an individual unnamed plant of the species Nandina domestica (unpatented). The parent plant was growing within a commercial crop of Nandina domestica at the inventor’s nursery in Salem, Oregon. U.S. Plant Patent #21,940 was issued in May, 2011. |
