Quick Guide
- Semi-double rusty-red to orange flowers
- Compact branching habit, 45–60cm tall
- Continuous blooms July to first frost
- Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds
- Low maintenance, drought tolerant once established
MiniBeckia Flame is a compact, bushy annual or short-lived perennial with semi-double flowers in rusty-red changing to rich orange at the petal edges, with dark brown centres. The large 4–6 inch blooms appear continuously from midsummer until the first frosts, held above dark green, velvety foliage on densely branched plants reaching 45–60cm in height.
Best grown as a half-hardy annual or with winter frost protection, it thrives in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming. Once established, it is drought tolerant and low maintenance, making it ideal for borders, containers, mass plantings, and pollinator gardens.
Plant Guide
Sow seeds indoors in March–April at 20°C or plant out after the last frost in late May–early June in a sunny location. Water thoroughly after planting, then maintain consistent moisture during establishment. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Apply organic mulch to retain soil moisture. In autumn, either allow plants to set seed for natural self-seeding, or lift and discard after first frost. Treat as an annual in most UK gardens; in milder regions, provide winter protection or overwinter in a frost-free greenhouse.
