(Large Firecracker Plant) Standing Tall, Cuphea VERMILLIONAIRE® is really turning heads. Clusters of orange, tubular-shaped flowers, with yellow tips, explode all over VERMILLIONAIRE®, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Standing 18-28 inches tall, VERMILLIONAIRE® is long blooming, drought and heat tolerant and requires no deadheading. Plant in full sun, and the orange and yellow flowers continuously bloom all season long. VERMILLIONAIRE® has a mounding habit that works great in borders, containers and in mass. Like all Cuphea, VERMILLIONAIRE® love the heat.

Cheryl Ann S –
This plant is very strong and growing beautifully! I can’t wait to see what pollinators it attracts and if it brings us hummingbirds!
Shelby D –
Wonderful plants arrived! Highly recommend this greenhouse, every one of my 14 different plants came in excellent condition, watered and packaged was also excellent! This has been the absolute best experience in 25 years of buying plants online qvc, cottage farms, Roberta’s etc .

The hummingbirds loved this plant.
Kim D –
What do the seeds look like and how do I gather the seeds for next year?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Heidi Grasman –
To my knowledge, these are a vegetative plant that does not come from seeds, but from cuttings.
Jean C –
I ordered 4 plants. I was so impressed with the way they were packaged! Nice large box-plenty of sturdy brown paper wrapped around each plant. They were well watered. They arrived in excellent shape. These were in the best condition of any plant I have ordered online. I have already placed another order for other plants with them. I highly recommend them!

Tried this one last year, grew in full sun with very little care. I would recommend adding this one to a Hummingbird Garden!
