    Catalina' is a vigorous scarlet bloomer from California's Channel Islands. Surfs up, hummers, you'll love this one! Good drainage is always best for this genus, and they'll be drought tolerant once established, but 'Catalina' will appreciate a little summer water - and who can blame it, coming from a maritime environment. 2' T x 4' WMinimum temperature: 0?F
