    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Such whimsy! Cute little bunny faces... with tentacles! Pardon my anthropomorphism, but you see the resemblance too, right? A shrubby perennial with oodles of flower power, ‘Starfire’ will grow between 1-2’ tall & 2-3’ wide. Where hardy, the plant will bloom throughout the year – heavily during the warmer months. Each flower is an inch or so long, with a pink tube & purple petals. Given part to full sun & rich soil with average water, the plant can bloom so much the foliage becomes almost entirely obscured. Wow! Added bonuses: it’s a mighty hummingbird attractor & great in pots!
