Description for Middle East Weather: Russelia equisetiformis, commonly known as Coral Plant, is a striking, weeping subshrub that thrives in the hot, arid climates of the Middle East. Its graceful, cascading stems, which resemble horsetail, are adorned with a profusion of bright red, tubular flowers. This plant's ability to withstand high temperatures and drought conditions makes it an excellent choice for landscaping in the region, providing a vibrant splash of color in gardens, rockeries, and hanging baskets. It is particularly well-suited for adding a tropical feel to a landscape without the high water requirements of many other tropical species.
