Colquhounia coccinea 'Nepalese Flame' is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking an exotic, late-season focal point that remains evergreen or semi-evergreen throughout the year. This shrub is prized for its striking clusters of vivid orange-red, tubular flowers, providing essential color when many other plants have faded; however, it requires a sheltered position and well-draining soil to thrive, as it can be sensitive to harsh winter exposure.

Colquhounia coccinea 'Nepalese Flame' typically reaches a height of approximately 1.5 meters.
It prefers a sheltered position and can be sensitive to harsh frosts. Providing protection, such as planting it against a warm wall, is recommended in colder climates.
You can expect clusters of orange-red, tubular flowers from late summer through autumn.
Yes, for the best floral display, plant it in a sunny position.
The plant requires free-draining soil to ensure the roots do not stay waterlogged, which is particularly important during winter.
It is classified as an evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub, meaning it retains much of its foliage throughout the winter depending on local temperatures.
Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6 hours of direct sun and check that the site is sufficiently sheltered from cold winds.
Check soil drainage; ensure the plant is not sitting in water-logged soil, especially during wet autumn months.
For optimal growth, plant your 9cm container-grown shrub in a sunny, well-draining spot. Ensure the soil is enriched with organic matter, but avoid heavy, waterlogged clay which can cause root issues during winter. If your garden is prone to frost, consider a site against a warm wall for added protection. During the first year, maintain consistent moisture until the plant is established. Pruning should be kept to a minimum, primarily to remove dead or damaged growth in early spring. In colder regions, a thick layer of mulch around the base in late autumn can help protect the roots from freezing temperatures.
