Firecracker Plant
Platt Hill Nursery’s Firecracker Plant is an attractive tropical plant with beautiful deep green, glossy mounded leaves. In the summertime, vivid coral-pink flowers adorned with yellow overtones and yellow eyes rise with spikes above the foliage, creating an eye-catching display that’s sure to be admired. This herbaceous evergreen plant is perfect for bringing life and vibrancy to any garden. It also does well in attracting bees and butterflies, so it’s ideal for a wildlife-friendly outdoor space. Firecracker Plant is easy to maintain and requires minimal upkeep. It’s not cold hardy, however, so take it indoors during the winter months to ensure it remains healthy and vibrant.
