Native Firebush is a hardy, evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub known for its bright orange-red tubular flowers that bloom continuously throughout the warm season and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and offers excellent heat, drought, and coastal tolerance once established. With its natural form, lush green foliage, and strong wildlife value, this native shrub is ideal for mass plantings, screens, and Florida-friendly landscapes seeking vibrant color and ecological benefits.
