Plant a firebush in your garden.
It’s drought tolerant but doesn’t mind regular water or even occasional wet feet.
It is perfectly happy in alkaline soils but also fine in acid ones.
Full sun will keep it happy and blooming, but so will a fair amount of shade.
Firebush makes a great,fast-flowering annualshrub for borders or containers in the Middle and Upper South.
Why It’s So Easy To Care For
Maintenance for firebush couldn’t be easier.
Lightly shear the plant a couple of times during the growing season to promote the heaviest flowering.
And other birds will relish its fruit.
