Russelia Equisetiformis (Firecracker Plant / Fountain Bush) is a fast-growing ornamental plant with graceful, arching stems that create a soft fountain-like effect in the garden. Its fine green foliage is covered in bright red tubular flowers for most of the year, providing continuous colour and movement in the landscape.
Ideal for tropical and low-maintenance gardens, this plant attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies while thriving in warm, sunny conditions. It is excellent for spilling over walls, borders, or containers, adding a flowing, naturalistic effect.
