The Hummingbirds are Coming!

PW_LOGOProven Winners Vermillionaire Cuphea is commonly called the large firecracker plant. Does that tell you something?! Sadly, it is an underused in many parts of the country, but it’s quickly rising to stardom. Hummingbirds can’t resist this extremely, low-maintenance annual, with shocking deep orange tubular flowers.

vermillionaire_mono_Proven_WinnersVermillionaire requires full sun to look its best and the hotter the space, the better. Place it in locations that cause other plants to wilt in mid-afternoon heat. Vermillionaire is unfazed by heat and humidity! Another benefit is its drought-tolerance, once established. The annual gets 18’ – 28” tall and requires no deadheading. Monthly fertilizing will help maintain its lush habit.
