Description

(Large Firecracker Plant) Standing Tall, Cuphea VERMILLIONAIRE® is really turning heads. Clusters of orange, tubular-shaped flowers, with yellow tips, explode all over VERMILLIONAIRE®, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Standing 18-28 inches tall, VERMILLIONAIRE® is long blooming, drought and heat tolerant and requires no deadheading. Plant in full sun, and the orange and yellow flowers continuously bloom all season long. VERMILLIONAIRE® has a mounding habit that works great in borders, containers and in mass. Like all Cuphea, VERMILLIONAIRE® love the heat.
