    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A never-ending display of brilliant saffron orange is brought forth to any sunny window or conservatory by this free-branching, upright grower. Clusters of these eye-catching blooms appear on the growing tips. Best of all, after a hard pruning, they quickly come back into flower. From the time this Mexican species arrived in our greenhouses, it has never been without bloom. Stunning as a patio container.
