Vermillionaire® Cigar Plant is an outstanding long-blooming flowering plant covered with masses of slender orange-red and yellow tubular flowers. It blooms from planting through frost and is especially valuable for attracting hummingbirds to the garden. It performs beautifully in the heat and humidity of the Florida Panhandle and works well in flower beds, borders, mass plantings, and containers.

Once established, Vermillionaire® is heat and drought tolerant, although regular watering while plants are becoming established will encourage fuller growth and heavier flowering. Deadheading is not necessary, making this an easy-care choice for summer color.

North Florida Growing Note: In DeFuniak Springs and surrounding Zone 8b areas, Vermillionaire® can return as a perennial, but winter protection with mulch is helpful during colder weather. Proven Winners recommends leaving the plant uncut through winter and trimming dead or leggy growth after new growth begins in spring.
