Russelia Equisetiformis (Yellow Form)

It’s always exciting to find a new color of a dependable heat-tough plant that I’ve grown for years. Such is the case with yellow Coral Plant. It blooms with tubular hummingbird-attracting creamy yellow flowers instead of the traditional red-orange. This more rare form is definitely something different for containers. Some gardeners create an interesting combination by planting this form and the red-orange ones together. Yellow Coral Plant is sometimes listed as the variety/cultivar, lutea/ ‘Lutea’.
