    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Against narrow dark green foliage, these flared tubular flowers of varying shades of papaya-orange bloom from spring through summer, and even into fall!! They make hummingbirds happy all season (and you, too!). 3' x 3' shrubby perennial that is grateful for sharp drainage. It's okay in a pot but performs best in the ground. Even after temperatures in the teens, AND an ice storm, the foliage still looks terrific! And still blooming in mid-November! Minimum temperature: 0 °F
