Coral Fountain
Russelia equisetformis
This desert shrub has long bright green weeping branches with very few leaves. During the warm months these branches become loaded with coral-red tubular flowers and attract hummingbirds. If plants look stressed give additional water and a shot of fertilizer. Plants may benefit with afternoon shade in the hottest locations. Coral Fountain's unique form inspires many uses in the landscape.
