DESCRIPTION AND ETHNOBOTANY

Growth Form	Although often considered an annual, it is a perennial herb in frost-free climates and grows up to 0.9-1.2 m tall.
Foliage	Its leaves are opposite, oblong to elliptic.
Flowers	The true flowers are yellow, narrow and tubular. They are interspersed among the pink to light purple petal-like structures known as bracts. The inflorescence is technically known as a dichasial cyme in a head of bracts which is about 2.5 cm wide. This cultivar has a long blooming season and the flowers are long-lasting.
Fruits	The small, balloon-like fruit is known as a utricle, and it contains one round, yellow-brown seed.
Cultivation	This easy-to-grow, fast-growing cultivar tolerates drought and heat well when established. It grows best in well-drained soils, but can also grow in clay soils. Avoid over-watering. You don't need to remove spent flowers, but it might self-seed and form new seedlings.
Etymology	The cultivar name 'Fireworks' refers to the starburst shape of the inflorescence which is different from the more typical, conical shape of other cultivars.
Ethnobotanical Uses	Cut - Dried Flower ( The flowers are ideal for flower arrangement because of the long-lasting and bright-colored flowers. They should be harvested before the bloom is fully open.)
