Recently Shipped Russelia equisetiformis, Firecracker Bush

Description

Cascading Fiery Red Blooms Attract Butterflies, Birds and Compliments

The Firecracker Bush grows in a wild and wispy cascade of scarlet tubular flowers. Its slender rush-like stems start out erect, then fall over in a burst of color. Many gardeners choose it for training on a trellis, accenting a border or spilling from a container. These shrubs can soften and highlight an otherwise well-trimmed landscape; but plan well, as they do not like to stay small. They need space.

Firecrackers are moderate to fast growers, reaching 3 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. They bloom year-round and prefer full to part sun. They are salt-tolerant, and should be brought inside during cold weather.

  12. Linda Neal (verified owner) –

    The firecracker plants looked great and were still damp from watering. The box itself however looked like it had been thrown around with dents in the side and dirt coming out.

  13. Laurian (verified owner) –

    Plant was perfectly package and easy to remove from the shipping container. It still was very wet, so I immediately planted the Firecracker Bush. It is thriving!

  14. Paul P. (verified owner) –

    Unusual looking like a shaggy haircut and the right size that fits in the pots that I can manage indoors in NE Ohio winters..some blooms were on …not much…but that will change soon as it graces 6 hours of summer sun next to my koi pond…lots of firecrackers 🧨by 7/4 I’m sure…very healthy plants and well packaged…will buy from PlantVine again

    Nice plant, shipped safely.

  21. Anthony Wilkey (verified owner) –

    Plants arrived alive. But they were not packaged very well. The surface of the pots were not covered which resulted in loose soil thrown all over the inside of the box. Luckily the plants survived.

  22. Carrie T. (verified owner) –

    They’re beautiful! Absolutely PERFECT

  23. catherine leach (verified owner) –

    Beautiful!! The plant came in perfect condition.

  24. Erica Plant (verified owner) –

    Loved the “frost watch” before shipping my plant! Once mother nature decided to get her act together, shipping was quick and my plant wasn’t a “popsicle” when it was delivered! Thank you so much!

  25. Susan S. (verified owner) –

    Exactly what I wanted. It was bigger than I thought it would be.

  28. Gregory R. (verified owner) –

    This was my second order from PlantVine and my plants arrived healthy and perfectly packed. I’ve yet to see them planted, however, since it is required they not be transplanted until one week after arrival. I trust they will be fine though. I really like this site!

  30. Ty C. (verified owner) –

    Arrived well packed and protected. Healthy and good sized plants.

I was told at purchase at Franklin Park Conservatory that it is a perennial that will winter outside but the zone information does not indicate that – In Ohio, zone 5
Any information?

Hi Mary

It will not survive freezing temperatures. Average room temperatures 65-75°F/18-24°C. If you move your plant outside for the warm months, don’t worry, it can take the heat. It’s hardy in USDA Zones 9b-11.
