The Ignea David Verity, also known as the Firecracker Plant or Mexican Cigar Plant, is a hybrid of a tender perennial flowering plant that is native to Mexico and Jamaica. This variety is evergreen in zones 8-10, and it has a mounding habit that can reach up to 20-30" tall and wide, and as much as 36-48" in tropical climates. The plant has tubular red-orange and yellow blooms that are free-flowering, bringing a splash of lush color to mass plantings, mixed containers, or landscape borders. If you live in colder climates, you can cultivate this plant as an annual, or overwinter containers indoors. The unique blooms of this plant attract pollinators, and it makes a stunning hanging basket or houseplant.
🌱Each seedling comes in a small plug-size 1" X 1" X 1 1/4” container. 🌱
The unit price $5.99 plus the shipping cost is for one plant. You can make the most of our discount offer by purchasing more than one.
General Growing Tips:
1. Space plants 20-30" apart in well-drained soil in a sunny landscape or container. For warm climates where plants reach 36-48" tall, give them more space in the landscape.
2. Water regularly, especially in extreme heat.
3. Bring containers indoors over the winter outside of zone 8-10, or grow this plant in a container or hanging basket inside.
*Important notice:
Please understand that these are living plants. We try our very best to pack and ship out a healthy plant as soon as we receive your order. Depending on the transportation time and care during transportation, the plants may have some brown leaves or even experience over-temperature. This is common, especially with all shipments during the summertime. Some plants can go into shock during shipping or changed growing conditions. Most plants will bounce back when watered and placed in partial shade for a few days. We also include further instructions that are specific to your plant, so please read completely when you open your package. We've tried our best to give the best care possible prior to shipment. Please open and care for your plant as soon as you receive it, remembering that plants are living creatures. Avoid leaving in hot sunlight or hot automobile, just as you would any other pet. The plant you will receive may be slightly different from the photos in the listing since no two plants are the same.
Please notify us with photos of the package and plants right away if you received a plant that is damaged more than the normal stress of shipping, as stated above.
