Heat-loving, cascading and non-stop flowering are words that describe the Coral Plants. This new selection brings another dimension with its dwarf stature. In our gardens and containers, Dwarf Coral Plant has shown to be more compact in its growth than the straight species. The stems are shorter and more densely branched making it ideal for spilling out of smaller sized containers. It has actually been promoted as a more upright growing shrub in areas where it is winter hardy. Coral plants are excellent choices for attracting hummingbirds and for bringing hot dependable color to the summer garden.
