Dwarf Firebush

Tubular orange flowers feature yellow lips and are produced virtually year round on this non-hardy shrub. Attractive green foliage and a neat mounded growth habit make this an ideal specimen for container or as a seasonal 'in ground' addition to the landscape. The flowers are pollinator magnets.
