Russelia equisetiformis v.17, basket

Russelia equisetiformis loves warm sunshine year round, it is frost tender. In fact, does not do well in cold temperatures, so be sure to bring it back indoors when the temperature drops in autumn. Reduce watering because growth will slow down in winter. Cut off spent flower stems at the base anytime. To keep your plant a manageable size, prune it back hard in early spring. Bright light to full sun, russelia plants require lots of light to bloom. Move it outdoors for the summer and set it in the sunniest spot you can provide.Water thoroughly, allowing the top of the soil to dry out between waterings. Mature plants are drought tolerant.
