Hamelia patens, more commonly known as firebush or scarlet bush, is a shrub that can offer stunning beauty and vibrancy to any landscaping project.
 
With its deep green foliage and bright orange-red flower clusters, it catches the eye and demands attention. This evergreen produces flowers throughout most of the year, and even when these blooms are absent, the plant still looks lush and attractive thanks to its glossy leaves.
 
Firebush is also known for being extremely tolerant of drought conditions and can be grown in nearly any type of soil.
 
For those looking for a low maintenance yet beautiful addition to their yard, Hamelia patens is an excellent choice.
