How to grow and care for Nandina 'Firepower' in NZ

Nandina ‘Firepower’ thrives in full sun to part shade and suits most regions of New Zealand. Plant in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during the first year to establish a strong root system, then reduce watering frequency as the plant becomes more drought-tolerant. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser. Little to no pruning is needed—remove any damaged or old foliage to maintain its compact, tidy shape.
