Nandina domestica 'Firepower'
This dense, low-growing cultivar from New Zealand is usually tinged with orange or red but becomes an intense red mound in the Autumn & Winter.
LOW MAINTENANCE
This shrub is Wow! Wow! Wow! in the Autumn - must see to believe.
The best time to prune is in late winter, just before new growth begins. Firepower does not fruit or flower.
Neat, low evergreen mounds are terrific for borders, massing & containers.
