| Description |
Common name: Firecracker plant, Coral plant, Rasili रसीली (Hindi) Botanical name: Russelia equisetiformis (syn. Russelia juncea) - [ (russ-EL-ee-uh) named for Dr Alexander Russell; (eck-kwiss-ee-tih-FOR-mis) Horse tail form ] Family: Scrophulariaceae (scrophularia, or figwort family) - [ (skrof-yoo-larr-ee-AY-see-ay) the Scrophularia family (genus name comes from the idea that it cured Scrofula) ] Origin: Mexico The Russelia is among the most common of garden plants, and it is easily recognized by its brilliant red flowers that are shaped like tall thin vases. It is also known as the Firecracker plant, Coralblow, the Coral plant and the Fountain bush. Russelia is commonly used to hide ugly retaining walls or fences because it grows quickly and has dense foliage. The Russelia grows in many parts of the world, and is mildly drought resistant. Growing to a maximum height of 1.8 metres, it is a shrub which will tolerate full sun to partial shade. As an evergreen it blooms for most of the year. Due to its attractively coloured flowers, this bush attracts birds and insects (such as bees) that feed on the nectar from its flowers.
