Description
Eranthemum ‘Flame’, scientifically classified under the genus Pseudoeranthemum, is a stunning tropical shrub that adds a burst of color to gardens and indoor spaces. Known for its striking flowers that range in color from deep purple to vibrant pink, this plant also features glossy, dark green leaves that provide an excellent contrast to its vivid blooms. The plant’s name “Flame” refers to its fiery flower color, which becomes even more intense in full sun.
Native to Southeast Asia, Eranthemum ‘Flame’ thrives in warm climates and is typically cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. It is a fast-growing shrub that can reach heights of 2 to 4 feet, making it an excellent choice for garden borders, containers, or hanging baskets. In cooler climates, it can be grown as an ornamental houseplant, where it will add a tropical flair to indoor spaces.
The plant is well-suited to full or partial sunlight and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It has moderate water requirements and is relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners. Regular pruning can help keep the plant compact and encourage even more flowering. It is also relatively pest-resistant, though occasional monitoring for common garden pests like aphids may be necessary.
