"Every Plant has a story . . ."

R. fulgens

This plant was grown from seed collected in NE India.  This beautifully rounded evergreen bush has wonderful round balls of 8 – 14 small red tubular flowers.

The light coating of indumentum on the undersides of the leaves is a lovely feature of this compact shrub.

This early bloomer grows in Nepal and India; ours has reached four feet in 25 years. 

Fulgens makes its own statement by combining leaf interest with structural interest.  Its trunk will provide smooth pinkish gray to reddish brown peeling bark.

Hardy to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fulgens will like:   50% shade,  small amounts of fertilizer on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, and gentle watering with well-aerated soil with good drainage.
