looking for a shrub with bright red flowers
Comments (28)Aztreelvr mentioned it above, but I want to reiterate that the Coral Fountain (Russelia equisetiformis) would work perfectly for you from what I can tell of your desires. It is perennial, and is very hardy. It doesn't take much water, and it is only a bush size. Mine is only 3 years old, and it blooms year round, throwing up pretty red flowers all over the bush (although more in the spring & summer)- the hummers love it! The only down side is that it spreads rather easily...branches can take root when they touch the ground. But, it's not that big of a chore to pull any seedlings that have started every couple of months (I give them to friends, and they have them in their gardens now!). That's my suggestion! Good luck!

Comments (33)Thanks for all the follow-ups. Daisy....would LOVE to see the variegated rosemary you spoke of....how beautiful that must be. I'd also love to see a pic of the one with pink blossoms that was mentioned here. Must be so pretty. Poseyplanter.....yes, I did bake all the confections on the link I pasted. I've been a baker too many years to count, but just within the last 3 years have been merging into the chef/cook field. I'll look for a link on propagating this particular red blooming rosemary. Not sure how to do it, but I know it's explained somewhere here on the forums, so I don't want to take up space asking questions about it here. Thanks everyone for sharing in my excitement over this beautiful plant....See MoreTiny Red Bugs
Comments (18)The original poster described something that was clearly not spider mites. I even doubt that they are red velvet mites, since the environment is so hostile to those animals. There are many species of what we can call 'clover mites' and this is what she observed. They can be quite alarming sometimes, the way they'll climb all over everything. Boxelder nymphs are something quite different. Yes, they are very small and red when they first hatch, but not as small as the typical clover mite. Few people would mistake them for a mite, I think. Attached is an image of your BEB, just hatched! Spider mites are WAAY smaller than a clover mite, by the way. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreLast Year recap of Tiny Red Bugs, What are they?
