    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!

    A dwarf Heavenly Bamboo (it's NOT a Bamboo) that has what the Common Names says - Fire Power! Fabulous knock you over red foliage in winter. Indestructible with little or no care -- drive through any McDonald's and you're bound to see them and just assume they get no care and major car exhaust! But they're planted for a reason in commercial settings -- they're easy and beautiful! Evergreen and remains clump forming.

    This form is evergreen, but is certainly not green in the winter when the foliage turns glowing red! Of dense, compact growth habit, this virus free plant will be 2 x 2' at maturity.
