This 3 - 4 ft. plant produces tubular red-orange flowers from
June through October. It is one of the best for attracting hummingbirds. Bloom
quality is better in sunny locations, but it will also bloom in shady areas.
This is an extremely tough, hardy performer - those in our gardens were planted
in the early 1930's. |
