CloseCupheas are well-known hummingbird attractors, and 'Firecracker' is no exception. Bright red/orange petals surround a deep purple eye, forming along the elegantly spreading stems. An upright mound that is often wider than it is tall, 'Firecracker' works well in most sunny locations, along borders or in container planters, hanging or otherwise. Plant this prolific summer bloomer with white and blue annuals for a patriotic look!
