Comments: 
Nandina domestica 'Fire Power' or  Dwarf Nandina or Dwarf Heavenly Bamboo Nandina 'Fire Power' or Nandina is an attractive unique looking bush with a moderate rounded growth. This perennial is a fire-retardant, is carefree and low maintenance.  The vivid reddish-colored leaves of Dwarf Heavenly Bamboo Nandina 'Fire Power' provide Fall and Winter interests.  Grown in masses, Nandina domestica 'Fire Power' looks decorative for the borders, beddings or edgings of sidewalks, driveways or walkways.  Grow Dwarf Nandinia in a container to accentuate the patio or deck.  I enjoy the lovely red shoots of this humidity-loving bush.
