Fire Bush Tree, Hamelia patens 'Firefly' Firebush Flowering Tree, Hummingbird Bush

Hamelia patens 'Firefly', commonly known as Firebush or Hummingbird Bush, is a gorgeous flowering tree that has become popular among gardeners and landscaping enthusiasts. Originating from tropical America, this small tree not only adds a splash of color to any outdoor space but also attracts beautiful hummingbirds with its bright red flowers.

The Firebush Tree belongs to the family Rubiaceae and can grow up to 10-15 feet tall. Its attractive green foliage consists of long, narrow leaves that create a lush canopy when in full bloom. The leaves are oval-shaped with serrated edges, giving them an interesting texture and adding depth to the overall appearance of the tree.

But what really makes this tree stand out are its vibrant and eye-catching flowers. The Firebush produces small clusters of tubular, red-orange blossoms that bloom from late spring to fall. These flowers are not only a treat for the eyes but also attract pollinators such as butterflies and, of course, hummingbirds.

In addition to its visual appeal, the Firebush Tree is also known for its hardiness and easy maintenance. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and can tolerate a variety of soil conditions, making it suitable for different climate zones. It is also drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for those living in hotter regions.

One interesting fact about the Firebush Tree is that it's not just known for its beauty; it also has a long history of medicinal use. In traditional medicine, the leaves and bark of the Firebush Tree have been used to treat various ailments such as fever, respiratory issues, and skin conditions.

Planting & Care

Care Guide

PLANTING AND CARE - Dig a hole approximately twice as wide as your new plant’s root ball and deep enough so that the top of the root ball is parallel with the ground level. Place the plant in the hole and ensure that it is situated upright, use the excavated soil to back fill around the root ball, tamp down to ensure air pockets are eliminated, thoroughly soak with a hose as you fill in the dirt. A 2-3 inch layer of organic hardwood mulch is strongly recommended, it will help retain moisture and discourage weed growth.

SUN EXPOSURE - Thrives in FULL SUN

WATER - Water twice a week for the first growing season, once established rain water will suffice.

FERTILIZING – No need to fertilize right away, We fertilize our plants during the production phase with slow release fertilizer which can last an additional 2-3 months supplying residual nutrients to the plant. Once fertilizing is due, you may use a fertilizer formulated for flowering plants, preferably a slow release fertilizer 180 days duration, fertilize during spring or fall base on label instructions.

INSECTS OR DESEASES - Here’s another plus, this tree is not regularly affected by pests, however in the event that scale, mealy bugs, or mites are found to affect the plant, they can be controlled by applying horticultural neem oil that can be sprayed directly onto the insects, A second and third treatment, when using oils, will be necessary. Space out the sprays at 2 weeks intervals to break up the mealybug life cycle.
