Firefly Jacobinia 140MM

Jacobinia pauciflora 'Firefly'

I am Firefly Jacobinia. My family originated from South America.

Habit Shrub - Long flowering

I am an outstanding, low growing shrub with scarlet and yellow tubular flowers borne profusely over a long period. I am ideal for mixed shrubberies, shady beds and borders, and I am just as happy in a container. Prune me lightly after flowering to keep my growth compact and bushy.
