Description

These evergreen shrubs usually grow to 8-10' tall and wide. Most will tolerate frost to 25 degrees F or lower, with some damage. All are irresistible to hummingbirds with their showy flowers and heavy nectar production. They will take sun to moderately deep shade and little or no summer watering in coastal areas. They should be given more shade and water in hotter, drier climates. They make an excellent plant for containers. -Monterey Bay Nursery
