| Hello
I was wondering if anybody here grows firespike. I saw a picture of it online, and I just love the look of it. If somebody here grows it, would they consider doing a trade with me (either for seeds or cuttings). |

| If you are referring to Odontonema strictum, then you should be aware that it is a semi-tropical shrub that will not be hardy in your zone. And unlikely to be very shrub-like or evergreen in much below zone 9, acting more like a dieback, herbaceous perennial in zone 8. But maybe you are meaning a different plant? |
