Firepower Bamboo (Nandina) 5G

Fiery Red Foliage with Bold, Year-Round Color

Introducing the Firepower Bamboo, a compact nandina prized for its dramatic foliage color rather than height. Despite the common name, this plant isn’t a true bamboo—it’s a dwarf heavenly bamboo that delivers intense seasonal color. Lush green leaves in spring and summer ignite into brilliant red and burgundy tones in fall and winter. Grown in a full 5-gallon pot, it arrives well established and ready to make an immediate statement.
