Description
Native to Brazil and Uraguay. Flame bush has foliage that resembles that of scarlet wisteria. A small tree or shrub 6-8 feet tall or 15 feet tall if trained as a tree. It has finely divided fern-like leaves that barely hide branching structure. The foliage is evergreen except in regions with winter freezes, where it will die back in freezes and recover. The beautiful flowers attract hummingbirds and form clusters of red tufts at the branch tips. They bloom spring through fall and may even bloom in the winter in warm regions.
