Phutani

Scientific Name:
Tecoma castanifolia

Phutani, also known as the “Firecracker Flower” or “Crossandra,” is often used in landscaping for its vibrant blooms, which attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. It thrives in well-drained soil, full sunlight, and requires moderate watering. The plant’s bright, orange to red flowers make it a popular choice for adding color to gardens, and it is valued for its ability to bloom throughout the year in tropical and subtropical climates.
