How to Care for a Firecracker Plant?
Firecracker plants thrive in full sunlight and well-draining soil. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. These plants are generally considered perennials in warm climates, providing year-round beauty. Prune to maintain shape and remove dead growth.
Is the Firecracker Plant Poisonous to Dogs?
Firecracker plants are generally non-toxic to dogs. However, individual sensitivities can vary, and it’s always advisable to monitor pets around plants. If ingestion is suspected, consult with a veterinarian for guidance.
Are Firecracker Plants Perennials?
Firecracker plants are perennials in regions with mild, frost-free climates. They maintain their green foliage and may continue to bloom throughout the year. In colder climates, they may behave as annuals or tender perennials.
Do Deer Eat Firecracker Plants?
Firecracker plants are known for their deer-resistant qualities. The aromatic foliage and tubular flowers are less appealing to deer, making them a suitable choice for gardens in areas frequented by these browsing animals.
