Notes
'Lemon Falls' coral plant (Russelia equisetiformis 'Lemon Falls') is a shrub for containers and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. Its arching stems draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Papyrus, Taro, and African daisy.
