Dicliptera suberecta

(Hummingbird plant)  Beautiful perennial from the wilds of Uruguay, an 18-24" tall shrubby mound cloaked in slightly fuzzy silver green leaves that topped by drop-dead-red orange tubular flowers all summer thru fall. These blooms are irresistible to humming birds! This plant loves heat and drought, needs full sun...enjoys summer water, takes some drought...well drained soil. Gorgeous in a Mediterranean theme, in a raised bed, rock garden, a pretty pot or basket arrangement.
