Nursery contributed plant descriptions

All summer & fall this is a show stopper in my garden. Smothered in clusters of golden orange flowers, this plant blooms for a very long time, forming an arching shrub to 8’ tall & 6’ wide, mine has grown at a nice pace & has an elegant form, draping itself over a low wall in my garden. The flowers are 3” long & are loved by hummingbirds. An easy plant, it doesn’t need much pruning or watering. Mixes well with Stipa arundinacea & Geum ‘Mrs. Bradshaw’ for a sunset-hued vignette. Definitely a keeper in my book. Heat & drought tolerant.
