It is not a true fern, despite the fern-like appearance of the lacy, delicate, elongated foliage that is actually a special type of leaf tissue known as a bract. - This unique, low-growing plant produces fountain-like bursts of bright, scarlet-red tubular, nectar flowers that last for weeks, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. It’s a versatile plant perfect for planters, baskets, or as a seasonal filler in colder regions. - Care: When mature, plant in fertile, coarse, well-draining soil or potting media in a full sun. Water sparingly to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid overwatering. Feed a good quality, slow-release, bloom-boosting fertilizer with the initial planting and annually in spring thereafter. Prune after flowering to control size, shape. - Indoor Growing: This plant can be grown indoors in conditions similar to those required for succulents. They require the full spectrum of light, warm temperatures, well-draining pots and coarse media. Modifications may be necessary to produce flowers indoors. - Climate: Firecracker fern is a semi-tropical plant recommended for growing in Zones 9, 10, and 11. Protection from cold temperatures is required in all Zones for the longest life, best appearance, and earliest flowering. Note that Zone recommendations are based on average temperatures and does not consider other variables. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00G8RK8U6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #781,293 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #21,963 in Flower Plants & Seeds | | Brand Name | Emerald Goddess Gardens | | Color | Red, Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (51) | | Expected Blooming Period | Spring to Fall | | Expected Plant Height | 2 Feet | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Emerald Goddess Gardens TM | | Manufacturer Part Number | REQ-RED-FCF-04 | | Material Features | California Certified, Grown In USA, Live Plant, Nursery Grown, Starter Size | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Attracts Hummingbirds, Attracts Pollinators, Compact, Extended Bloom Time, Heat Tolerant | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Russelia equistiformis | | Product Care Instructions | Protect from cold | | Soil Type | Fertile Well-Draining | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Sun | | USDA Hardiness Zone | 9, 10, 11 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Emerald Goddess Gardens - **Color:** Red, Green - **Expected Blooming Period:** Spring to Fall - **Expected Planting Period:** Spring - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Outdoor - **Item Weight:** 2 Pounds - **Material Feature:** California Certified, Grown In USA, Live Plant, Nursery Grown, Starter Size - **Special Feature:** Attracts Hummingbirds, Attracts Pollinators, Compact, Extended Bloom Time, Heat Tolerant - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Sun - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![Firecracker Fern - Russelia equistiformis - Live Tropical Plant Cascading Habit Red Tube Flower - Emerald Goddess Gardens - Starter Sz 4 Inch Pot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Yf84t-wiL.jpg) ![Firecracker Fern - Russelia equistiformis - Live Tropical Plant Cascading Habit Red Tube Flower - Emerald Goddess Gardens - Starter Sz 4 Inch Pot - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91YN9ltAe8L.jpg) ![Firecracker Fern - Russelia equistiformis - Live Tropical Plant Cascading Habit Red Tube Flower - Emerald Goddess Gardens - Starter Sz 4 Inch Pot - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gdiGphXbL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/98458997-firecracker-fern-russelia-equistiformis-live-tropical-plant-cascading-habit-red](https://www.desertcart.us/products/98458997-firecracker-fern-russelia-equistiformis-live-tropical-plant-cascading-habit-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
