What about a burning bush. Making it into a bonsai tree?

Ohhh, that's a good idea, Barb. That would be so pretty.

I don't know if it could take the full blazing sun on the patio table, though. At least not in summer....

Hmmm, maybe I could do two pots! Chili peppers in the summer and the burning bush in the fall:-)

I truly am obsessed. Somebody stop me!

This is just a summer annual idea, but what about Cock's Combs/Celosia in a blend of red, yellow, and orange to simulate flames? You could even get some graduated terra cotta containers and build them up into a conical fire shape.

Sedums are low maintenance,tidy and easy to move. PJ

I had thought about Celosia, but my mind didn't see it like your picture SHOWED it. Now that I've seen it, I think it would be a good addition:-)

I have a sedum called dragon's blood. Dragon's are fiery, right? Lol!

Chili pepper in the center, surrounded by celosia with sedums spilling out....How's that sound? Fiery enough:-)?

If you have a big enough pot, a red hot fire poker in the center would be awesome!

I think Dragon's blood sedum would loook good. PJ

You might try Red salvia in the summer.
I only see chili pepper plants in the fall. The decorative ones anyway.
