  • Description

Fouquieria macdougali is an excellent plant for dry native gardens where it’s bright red, nectar-filled blooms will attract hummingbirds. It can also be grown in a pot and is one of the easier Fouquierias to hav bloom in a container. It can be trained as a desert bonsai plant and should be trimmed in spring and summer but allowed to rest in fall and winter.

It is an often used in landscape plant in Phoenix and Tucson, AZ.

This plant is propagated from stem cuttings or seeds. Seed grown plants should reach flowering size at around 3 years.

Root and stem rot in poor draining soils.

This is a fast-growing, semi-evergreen shrub with long cane-like branches covered in spines and alternate green leaves. Young stems are reddish brown contasting with the bright green leaves. Over time it forms a caudex-like trunk with thin peeling bark. In summer it puts on quite a show with panicles of tubular red flowers. F. macdougali is drought deciduous and will drop it’s leaves during dry spells. It prefers more water than its cousin F. splendens (the California Ocotillo) having generally more leaves and a larger floral display.

In Mexico the bark is used as a substitute for soap, especially for washing woolens, and also for shampoo. It is also used as a hedge or corral as its spiny branches deter larger animals. F. macdougalii’s lifespan is several decades.There is a minimum purchase of any 4 plants for online orders. All plants shipped bare root. Other sizes may be available for pick up from our growing grounds in Fallbrook, CA. For more information, give us a call at 760-990-4762.
