Firecracker
Russellia equisetiformis

A fast-growing, easy to cultivate and blooms almost continuously.

Firecracker is a striking and versatile plant. Give it some space to sprawl and it will reward you with abundant red flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Also, firecracker is often grown in hanging baskets. It does well on the patio or indoors in a front of a window. Outdoors, let firecracker spill over a wall or raised bed. Stems can be tied to a trellis or wall.

From spring until fall outdoors, and all year long indoors, Firecracker produces hanging clusters of scarlet tubular flowers about an inch long that look like little firecrackers.
