Euphorbia fulgens

Euphorbia fulgens, the scarlet plume, is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae, native to Mexico. Growing to 1.5 m tall by 1 m broad, it is a deciduous shrub with long, weeping branches and narrow leaves. In winter orange-red flowers growing in the leaf axils cover the length of the branches.

The Latin specific epithet fulgens means "shining, glistening".

It is not hardy, requiring temperatures above 10 C. It must therefore be grown under glass in temperate regions. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
