PPAF Hummers will fight over the multitudes of orange tubular blossoms on this compact mound of 12-20”... blooms all summer and fall non-stop! Basks in the hot sun, in the border, or in a pot. Decent soil drainage, regular water to little. Deadheading is not required. Floriferous is an understatement on this tropical looking babe!
