Digiplexis 'Firecracker'

This plant grows well in my zone 8b (Hilton Head Island) garden in a south facing aspect, in dappled shade. The plant has relatively smal...Read Morel, orange bells. It is very pretty and looks like a miniature Digitalis. It blooms continuously with multiple flower spikes throughout the year. The foliage of D. 'Firecracker' is more refined and delicate looking than that of Digiplexis 'Illumination Flame' which has rather coarse foliage. The flower color is also very different. Whereas 'Illumination flame' is bi-color, a somewhat gaudy combination of pink and orange, Digiplexis, 'Firecracker', is more of a clean tangerine orange. Perenial in zone 8 and up. Use as an annual in cooler climates. Bred by Walters Gardens. Additional colors are becoming available. 'Flamingo' is a beautiful pink version.
