Featured plant: Tassel flower, orange, annual

Tassel flower (Emilia javanica) Annual. All zones. I think this the specific name is janvanica, I'm not sure, it could be coccinea. Anyway, it is a very pretty annual. It grows to about 3' and bears either red or orange blooms on long stalks. I like to put these amongst other plants so that the blossoms appear randomly throughout the other flowers. It adds a nice surprise of color. The seeds offered here are orange. I'm not sure if red can come from orange seeds, but the flowers I took them from were orange. Full sun, water when dry, and fertile soil.
