Dicliptera sexangularis, commonly known as the sixangle foldwing, is a perennial herb native to a range of habitats including pine rocklands, coastal hammocks, and disturbed sites in Florida, Southern Texas, and throughout the American Tropics. It typically grows to a height of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) and spreads to a similar width. The plant features lance-shaped leaves and is particularly noted for its bright red, tubular flowers that bloom throughout the year in its native range, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies.

The sixangle foldwing is valued for its vibrant red flowers and its adaptability to various garden settings. It is often used in butterfly gardens, as a border plant, or in naturalized areas where its nectar-rich blooms can support local pollinators. While it thrives in full sun to part shade, it is also tolerant of drought once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for xeriscaping. It prefers well-drained soils but can adapt to different soil types. Gardeners should be aware that it can spread by self-seeding and may require control in small garden spaces.CC BY-SA 4.0
