Firebush

Hamelia Patens

This gorgeous Florida native is an easy-care, fast-growing plant that will attract all sorts of pollinators to the landscape. Depending on the variety, it can have bronze or green leaves and bunches of tubular red and orange flowers. This plant is perfect as a foundation plant, as a hedge or along a fence to add interest to open areas. When planting along a wall, make sure the plant is far enough away from the wall to allow access. 


Plant firebush in sunny spots or areas with partial shade.  It will flower more in areas where the plant gets the most light. Plant in well-draining soil and water daily or every other day until it becomes established.  Fertilize these plants throughout the season with a well-balanced fertilizer for tropical plants.
