Description
True to its name, ‘Firepower’ Dwarf Nandina displays brilliant, blazing fire-red foliage during winter on globe shape shrubs that reach 2 to 2.5 feet tall and wide at maturity. A winter-long stunning display when planted in groupings, massed, or as a colorful low hedge or border. Spring foliage is lime green turning to a medium green during summer. Exceptionally drought tolerant when established and does not like wet feet. Whether growing in the ground or in pots, sharp soil drainage is a must for this one!
