Grelmsiz' is a selection of scarlet bush that features yellow to chartreuse colored foliage and terminal clusters of 1" long, red, tubular flowers. The flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds. Mature plants will reach up to 4' tall and equally as wide while taking on a well-branched, bushy habit. Will reach up to 2' tall with a similar spread if grown as an annual. Commonly sold at nurseries and garden centers under the name LIME SIZZLER.
The scarlet bush has average watering needs. With the plants growing in well-drained soil, you have to provide regular water to keep the soil moist without overwatering it.
The plant enjoys full sunlight but it can also thrive in partial shade. Firebush’s light requirements also depend on whether you’re growing the plant indoors or outdoors.
As for feeding, a time-release fertilizer during the growing season may help the plant flower better.
These fairly easy to grow plants do not have strict soil requirements. An average, well-drained soil with medium moisture will do perfectly well. The one detail you can’t really skimp out on with these plants is the drainage.
Temperatures between 85° – 101° degrees Fahrenheit (29° – 38° C) are suitable and even ensure healthy growth.
