- Odontonema tubaeforme, or Red Firespike, is a versatile and easy-to-grow semi-tropical flowering shrub that is confirmed as native to semi-forested areas of Central America and possibly Mexico. The species was once thought to be native to Florida also, but current expert opinion has shifted to naturalized in Florida vs native. Its status as a non-invasive, ecosystem-friendly, nectar-rich, fall and winter bloomer for habitats and shade gardens remains unchanged.
- Firespike matures as tall 4 to 5 ft shrubs with large, shiny, dark green leaves. They establish quickly and require only basic care, producing showy spikes of red, double-lipped, nectar-rich tubular blooms that resemble salvia on tall stalks over a long cycle of 2-3 months,. As a bonus, it thrives and blooms in light shade and is typically in color during the Holidays. This plant is a great choice for a screen, background, or accent, and an easy-care essential for habitat gardens.
- Care: Easy to grow and quick to establish, this plant thrives in a lightly shaded location. Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, maintain consistent moisture, and fertilize only as needed based on the appearance of the plant. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and control size.
- Indoor Growing: This species is not well-suited for year-round indoor growing due to mature size and its need for high light levels, warm temperatures with a day/night differential, and high humidity.
- Climate: A semi-tropical perennial that is recommended for USDA Hardiness Zones 8B, 9, 10, and 11. In Zone 8B, it should be planted early in the season and protected from cold until very well established. We recommend protecting from frost and freezing in all zones for the best appearance and bloom performance.
