Another excellent introduction in the line of repeat flowering Torch Lilies, Echo Duo produces tall spikes of densely packed tubular flowers that start out a dark orange and slowly fade to a light creamy white. Established plants can produce flowers from spring to fall. A great choice for hummingbirds! The Red Hot Poker is drought tolerant once well established, has some salt tolerance, and is considered deer resistant. This tough and reliable clump forming perennial is deserving of a place in any sunny garden.
