    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A very pretty shrub from Central America. The dark green leaves are soft & felty & the tubular flowers are salmony-orange with yellow throats. These plants are propagated from a nice variety that was brought back by a volunteer at San Francisco Botanical Garden. This variety seems to be extra vigorous & has the nice bonus of fuzzy orange stems that make the plant ornamental even when it is not in bloom. Gets to be about 3-4' tall and 3' wide. Does pout when not given enough water.
