Planting Instructions for Firepower Nandina
Choose the Right Location:
Select a site with full sun to partial shade for the most vibrant foliage color. Firepower Nandina tolerates a wide range of soils but thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic soil.
Hardiness zones: USDA 6–9.

Prepare the Soil:
Loosen the soil in the planting area to a depth of 12–18 inches. Amend heavy clay or sandy soils with compost or organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.

Dig the Hole:
Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the plant's root ball. This provides ample space for root development.

Planting:
Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots.
Place the shrub in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
Backfill with soil, firming it gently to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly:
Water deeply immediately after planting to help establish strong roots. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the first few weeks.

Mulch:
Spread a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk.
