Description

This delicate looking shrub will reach about 8'-10' tall and wide. It has thick, sturdy brown stems with small, bright green, needle-like leaves and elegant red and orange flowers that bloom in spring. This shrub looks like a beautiful pine with gorgeous flowers. It has low watering needs once it's established. It prefers full to part sun with well draining soil. This makes a great hedge or screen. Hummingbirds love this shrub too.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
