Description
A very showy, shrub-like perennial grows to 2'-3' tall. It spreads by underground rhizomes. Bright, tubular, orange-red, summer flowers with yellow-orange throats attract hummingbirds. It is drought tolerant once it's established but will thrive in wet soil (may become invasive then). It tolerates full sun to light shade.
