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.
