Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Bloom Time | Inconspicuous; prized for foliage. |
|---|---|
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Dramatic Foliage Color, Easy Care, Fall Color, Waterwise, Compact Form |
| Problems/Solutions | Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Hedge |
| Design Ideas | Smaller than its predecessors and impossibly bright, this is the consummate accent for Asian-inspired gardens or for shaded landscapes in need of color. Plant as a single specimen in smaller gardens and courtyards, where its color provides a focal point or accent. Use in clusters for a powerful presence in more spacious landscapes. Perfect as a lacy overhang that won't block sunlight to water gardens, pools and fountains. Ideal plant for spas in small urban backyard gardens. May also be planted in pots. |

| Care Instructions | Easily grown in average, well-drained soil. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Drought tolerant but best with supplemental summer water. Apply fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. |
| Lore | 'Firepower' is said to not produce fruit or berries. |
