Description
Firecracker Plant is a unique, sprawling evergreen shrub celebrated for its spectacular, long-lasting display of fiery red flowers. Its rush-like, bright green stems are almost leafless, creating a fine, weeping texture. From spring through fall, it produces a profusion of slender, tubular, scarlet-red flowers that hang in clusters, resembling exploding firecrackers. This drought-tolerant, heat-loving plant is a hummingbird magnet and is perfect for spilling over walls, cascading from hanging baskets, or adding vibrant color to sunny, well-drained slopes.
-
Profuse, Hummingbird-Attracting Blooms: Produces masses of bright red, tubular flowers nearly year-round in warm climates, intensely attractive to hummingbirds.
