About This

• What You Will Receive: You will receive a premium pack of 2 Live Mexican Firebush Starter Plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These vigorous, well-rooted saplings are shipped in their grow pots/plugs (not bare root) to ensure the root system stays hydrated and is ready to be potted up immediately upon arrival.
• The Ultimate Hummingbird Magnet: Turn your garden into a pollinator sanctuary. The Firebush is widely considered one of the #1 plants for attracting hummingbirds. Its tubular, fiery orange-red flowers hold high-energy nectar that draws hummingbirds, butterflies (especially Zebras and Sulphurs), and bees from miles around.
• A Blaze of Color: Enjoy a visual spectacle that changes with the seasons. This plant features constant clusters of vibrant scarlet-orange blooms from late spring until the first frost. As the weather cools in autumn, the lush green foliage transforms into a stunning burning red and bronze, earning it the name "Firebush."
• Thrives When Others Wilt: Stop worrying about the summer heat. Hamelia patens is a tropical powerhouse native to the American tropics. It is incredibly heat-tolerant and drought-tolerant once established, thriving in blazing sun where more delicate flowers would perish.
• Versatile & Fast Growing: Perfect for any landscape. In warm climates (Zones 9-11), it grows rapidly into a large, evergreen privacy shrub or hedge. In cooler zones (Zones 4-8), it acts as a spectacular, fast-blooming potted patio plant or summer annual that adds tropical height and texture to flower beds.
• Guarantee & Secure Shipping: We utilize professional, eco-friendly packaging to secure the foliage and root system during transit. Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unbox immediately and water well. Keep in a shaded area for 24-48 hours to recover from travel stress before moving to a sunny location. Satisfaction guaranteed.
