Firepower Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica ‘Firepower’) is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its incredible foliage color—one of the best-coloring nandinas available. New growth emerges a fresh green with subtle red highlights, then transforms into brilliant red foliage in fall that holds its color through winter for months of standout interest. Naturally forming neat, low mounds that reach about 30 inches tall and wide, Firepower is ideal for borders, foundation plantings, massing, and container displays where you want reliable color without constant trimming.

Size & Growth Habit

Watering
- When to water: Water when the top 2 inches of soil is dry
- First growing season: Water deeply and regularly to establish an extensive root system
- After establishment: Reduce frequency; drought tolerant but looks best with supplemental summer water
Soil & Planting Tips
Firepower is easily grown in average, well-drained soil.
- Choose a site with good drainage—avoid soggy low spots.
- Amend soil with compost if needed to improve structure and root growth.
- Mulch helps conserve moisture and keeps roots comfortable through heat.
Feeding & Easy Care

- Maintenance level: Easy care
- Pruning: Not required to maintain shape
If you want a polished look without constant trimming, Firepower is a dependable “set it and enjoy it” shrub.
Pruning & Shaping

- Optional tidy-up: Remove any winter-worn stems in late winter if desired
- Goal: Maintain a naturally neat mound
Where to Use It
- Landscape uses: Border, container, hedge
- Great for: Mass plantings, small gardens, courtyards, foundations, and water-feature edges

Firepower is especially effective where you want bright winter color without blocking light to nearby plants or water gardens.
