Nursery contributed plant descriptions

NEW bushy perennial forms an irregular mound about 20” with fresh green foliage; red “bird” flowers from June until frost, adored by hummers! Best in sun, needs well drained mineral soil (does not want compost or organic soil), sandy is great. Rock garden lovely, fab in a pot, in a mound, raised bed or topping a wall? Site it where the long bloom can be enjoyed! We have really enjoyed this baby here at the nursery!
