Firecracker Flower

Struggled in a pot, now thriving three years in a shady, protected spot.

Type: Perennial down to 40°F

Sun / water: Partial sun / water as needed

When I plant it: This one went into the ground in late summer. Early spring and summer would be the ideal planting times.

This firecracker flower was in a container and did not thrive. I put it in the ground in a shady, protected area, and it has lived there three years.
