Clianthus puniceus 'Pink Flamingo'

Just about the boldest most tropically stupendous plant the mind can imagine! Blooms Spring thru Summer with huge clusters (up to 15 flowers in each) of 6” long, flamingo pink, lobster-claw-shaped blooms that dangle in masses all throughout the plant. Naturally forms a multi-branching 4’ tall by 8’ wide shrub of arching stems and pretty fern-like evergreen foliage. Can be grown in a large container like a half wine barrel, where it will be a commanding presence! A magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds. Provide fertile well-draining soil and full sun (coast-side) to part shade (inland). Resents consistently hot weather with warm night time temps. Hardy to 25 degrees.
