Russelia equisetiformis
Coral Fountain, Firecracker Plant
Information by: George Hull MSN Photographer: Mountain States Nursery
Description
Coral fountain can reach a mature size of about 5' x 5' in frost-free climates. In colder climates, foliage will die back at freezing, but the plants will survive all but a hard frost. This is an excellent plant for containers, so plants can be moved to a sheltered location in winter for frost areas. Tubular red flowers appear spring through summer.

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
