About
A beautiful shrub native to South Africa that bears hummingbird-attracting, tubular blossoms all summer. Upright flower spikes offer good textural contrast. Appropriate for the perennial, mixed, or cutting garden. Prune lightly in spring to maintain symmetry. Prefers well-drained, moist soil.
