| Description |
Common name: Hamelia, Firebush, Scarlet bush, Hummingbird bush Botanical name: Hamelia patens (syn. Hamelia coccinea, syn. Hamelia erecta) - [ (ham-EE-lee-uh) named for Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau,18th century French botanical writer; (PAT-ens) meaning spreading ] Family: Rubiaceae (coffee family) Origin: Florida The Scarlet Bush contains anti fungal, anti bacterial and immunostimulant phytochemicals. It is also a very decorative plant, attracting butterflies. The scarlet bush very often needs trimming to keep it bushy. It has pale green rounded leaves and small, tubular red-orange flowers. Though it can grow to 6-9ft or more in height, it responds well to hard pruning and can be used to make a dense medium-sized hedge or an attractive shaped plant; pruning, however, inhibits the blooms, which appear at the ends of the branches. Hamelia likes full sun and very well-drained soil. Propagation is easy by means of cuttings. One of the best butterfly attractors. This shrub can grow into a small shaped tree.
