Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Exhilarating pendent orange flowers bloom profusely on wiry stems all summer long among maple-like leaves! In the NW it would love to reside in a movable pot; cut it back to bush it out. Tender shrub to 4' tall; needs summer water; semi-evergreen.

Small but profuse flowers shriek flashes of orange at the ends of thin wiry pedicels. A Xera Plants introduction which if it were from someone else we would be skeptical of its value having seen way too many plants being named but since it is from the Xera boys, we worry not. Personally, I cannot get enough orange so this helps fill what is apparently a yawning chasm of orange need. To 5' in a growing season and hardy to zone 8b and will bloom from nearly the commencement of growth until frost. These are stout cuttings, well rooted and starting to grow. If we wait too much longer, we'll just sell them here rather trying to put them into boxes.
