Crossandra (Crossandra infundibuliformis), commonly known as firecracker flower, is a tropical plant grown as a warm‑season annual in North Florida and South Georgia. It produces clusters of bright tubular flowers in shades of orange, peach, coral, salmon, and yellow over a long blooming season, adding vibrant color and a tropical feel to beds, borders, and containers. Crossandra performs best in warm conditions with partial sun to light shade and consistently moist, well‑drained soil.

Care Needs:
• Light: Partial sun to light shade; morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; avoid allowing soil to dry out completely
• Pruning: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and trim lightly to maintain shape
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season for steady blooms
