Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We have tried to get this plant for our garden let alone to sell, so it’s nice to finally have E. ‘Norqyunco Valley’ available. Said to be hardier than the species. The flowers cover the plant in May as if the plant was on fire with the orange flowers.
Bright flame-red flowers May-June, protect from wind. Avoid phosphorus fertilizer. Good drainage. Zones 8-10.
