Hamelia patens, known as firebush, is a fast-growing evergreen shrub prized for its year-round display of tubular orange-red flowers. Native to the American subtropics, it features a spreading habit with whorls of gray-green leaves that turn red in autumn. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is heat and drought-tolerant. It serves as a vital nectar source for hummingbirds and butterflies, while its dark berries feed songbirds. Ideal for hedges or as a specimen in warm landscapes.
