Cultivation[edit]
Russelia equisetiformis is cultivated as an ornamental plant, for temperate gardens and in window boxes, pots, and hanging planters.[2] There are also cultivars with ivory white or pink flowers. Flowering is best with a minimum of half a day of sunlight, though the plant grows well in a range of situations.
The plant can be grown as an espalier on a trellis for vertical display, or a balcony—terrace screen (in a pot). It can withstand temperatures down to −6 °C (21 °F). However some authorities assert that it cannot tolerate temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F), and must therefore be kept under glass during the winter months.[3] In colder climates it can overwinter as a houseplant in bright locations.[2]
In cultivation in the UK, It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[3][4]
