Russelia equisetiformis
Firecracker plant. This Mexican native perennial forms a large clump of long, weeping stems in spring, followed by the fireworks: dangling bunches of little, brick-red tubular flowers appear in May and continue the show through to the first frosts. Simply spectacular!

In full sun, in light, ordinary soil, even with some lime content, that is very well-draining.
Maintenance
Water from time to time in dry spells to prolong flowering. Protect the plant from cold and frost.
