The Chilean Firebush, or Embothrium coccineum is a tall, fast-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree with an upright, suckering habit. The lance-shaped, leathery leaves are deep green. For several weeks in late spring and early summer, clusters of spidery, waxy, orange-red, tubular flowers appear; these have four recurved tips and protruding stigmas that hummingbirds and butterflies adore. The Firebush Tree can grow 20-30 feet tall, & is a narrow deciduous tree that is usually multi-trunked. In late May and June, this is a tower of blazing red-orange tubular flowers that attract all kinds of pollinators. A show stopping native to Chilean and Argentinian temperate forests with dark gray, speckled bark, and deep bluish-green, semi-evergreen foliage. The real show stoppers are the long, bright red, tubular flower clusters, which bloom in late spring and last for a month or more. Zones 8a-10bFirebush Germination:1) Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours. A thermos will help keep the water warm.2) Cold stratify by placing the seeds in a bag of moist vermiculite for 60 days. Be sure to periodically check them so they don't dry out. Keep it moist at all times, but Never wet.3) Use a well mixed & well draining "soilless" potting mix. Don't use regular commercial potting soils.3) Use a heated propagator to keep the soil temperature at 70 degrees F.4) Sow the seeds on top of the soil, and cover with a very thin layer of sand as they need light to germinate.

If it starts to dry, mist them with a spray bottle until moist. 6) Patience is required as germination is erratic with Firebush seeds.
