Firecracker Plant 'Lemon Falls' (Russelia equisetiformis 'Lemon Falls')

With its cascading growth habit and bright lemon-yellow tubular flowers, ‘Lemon Falls’ adds movement and colour to gardens, hanging baskets, or rockeries. Its arching, slender stems create a flowing effect, making it a visually dynamic feature plant. Thriving in South East Queensland’s warm climate, it is drought-tolerant and well-suited to sunny locations. The nectar-rich blooms attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies and bees, while also providing a food source for small nectar-feeding birds.

Watering preferences:

Mulching preferences:

• Applying mulch may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

• A balanced, water-soluble fertiliser during the growing season may support rapid growth and flowering.

Pruning preferences:

• Pruning back in late winter or early spring may help maintain shape and encourage fuller, more vigorous growth.

Good to Know:

• Prefers full sun and is well-suited to South East Queensland’s warm climate.
