Nandina domestica ‘Fire Power’

 

‘Fire Power’ is a dramatic yet dwarf cultivar with huge acid green leaves gorgeously marked with shades of bright red increasing in intensity from summer into winter. ‘Fire Power’ has not been known to bloom. Who cares! The foliage is so great. Not a bamboo at all but a non-invasive relative of Mahonia, the Oregon grape. Nandinas are incredibly versatile and useful evergreen shrubs with great interest from foliage texture and colours. Full shade right up to full sun!
