The brilliant scarlet-hued blooms of this heat-loving perennial are hummingbird magnets. Its silvery foliage provides an excellent contrast for the red flowers, which are quite large for the genus. Discovered near Galena, Mexico by YuccaDo Plantsmen, it has proven hardy here in our Stillwater garden. This is a wonderful addition to the perennial garden for super color when the weather is super hot.
