When to plant firebush
Set firebush out in full sun after the last spring frost; it does best in high heat. It is a frost-tender perennial typically grown as an annual in cold zones, either in the ground or in a container that can be taken indoors over winter.
Firebush is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
