The Vermillionaire® Firecracker Plant is vibrant and low-maintenance with bursts of stunning yellow-orange flowers all season long. Known for its ability to attract hummingbirds, this plant thrives in full sun and is perfect for creating a lively, colorful garden. Its heat and drought tolerance make it an excellent choice for a variety of climates, requiring minimal care. Best of all, deadheading is unnecessary to maintain its continuous blooming. Whether you're looking to add a splash of color to your landscape or attract pollinators, the Vermillionaire® Firecracker Plant is a perfect choice.

The Eco+Grande features nutrients embedded in the container walls, which help plants grow bigger and faster throughout the season when planted in the ground. Be sure to remove the tabs from the container before planting. If you choose to plant in a container, we recommend taking the plant out of the Eco+Grande, breaking it apart, and mixing it into the soil at the time of planting. When the Proven Winners Eco+Grande container is discarded in the garbage can, it will naturally break down faster in a landfill than a traditional petroleum made container. The container will get smaller and smaller until microbes consume it, turning it back into an inert organic product. Learn more about this in our blog.

Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best performance. Keep the soil moist throughout the growing season. Regular feeding will keep it full and constantly flowering. Once established, it does not require a lot of water.
