    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An unusual combination of trailing lacy silver-needled foliage with coral beak-like flowers (Legume Family.) Full sun and well drained soil. Pinch back to promote a bushier habit.

    This classic summer annual provides a nice splash of color. Looking much like parrot beaks, the orange flowers contrast nicely with the silver feather foliage. The plant's trailing habit lends it nicely to hanging baskets and mixed containers. Easy to grow in sun to part sun with summer water.
