Firepower Heavenly Bamboo
Nandina domestica 'Firepower'Fire Power Nandina is a popular evergreen shrub celebrated for its intense seasonal color. During spring and summer, its foliage appears fresh green, but as temperatures cool, the leaves transform into vibrant shades of fiery red. This dramatic color change makes Fire Power a standout feature in fall and winter landscapes when many plants lose visual interest.
Compact and naturally tidy, Fire Power Nandina works well in borders, foundation plantings, and mass groupings. It is especially effective when planted in clusters, creating a bold splash of color with minimal effort. Unlike some larger nandina varieties, Fire Power rarely produces flowers or berries, keeping its focus on foliage color and making it a clean, low-maintenance option. Its adaptability and resilience make it a favorite choice for gardeners seeking reliable year-round structure with seasonal flair.
