Description:
Cordia sebestena, commonly known as the Geiger tree, is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Americas. It is prized for its bright orange, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom profusely throughout the year and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. This plant is commonly used as an accent or specimen plant in landscapes, or as a hedge or screen.

Plant Care:

1. Light: Cordia sebestena prefers full sun to partial shade.
2. Water: Water regularly and deeply, but avoid over-watering. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
3. Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH.
4. Hardiness: Cordia sebestena is hardy in USDA zones 9-11.
5. Fertilizer: Fertilize once a month with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season.
6. Pruning: Prune as necessary to maintain a desired shape and size, or to remove dead or damaged branches.
7. Pests and Diseases: Cordia sebestena is relatively pest and disease-free, but may be susceptible to scale insects, mealybugs, and sooty mold. Regularly inspect the plant and treat promptly if necessary.

Note: This plant is salt-tolerant, making it a good choice for coastal landscapes. Also, its wood is brittle and prone to breaking, so be careful when planting near sidewalks or other areas where it may be knocked over.
