Plant of the Month
Brazilan Firecracker Vine
Manettia cordifolia"John Elsley"
Brilliant orange-red tubular flowers appear in profusion from spring to fall on this Brazilian native climber. Growing to only about 10 feet, it can be grown on a trellis, in a hanging pot or container. It is a favorite for hummingbirds, and the small leaves and constant bloom make it a glowing focal point in sun or part shade. An herbaceous perennial in zones 7-10, it will be a delightful addition to any garden year after year.
