Grower's Notes:
Easy to care for, needing only partial to full sun and average soil.

It produces minute leaves on oddly jointed, grasslike stems that arch gracefully. An individual plant can cover 8 square feet in 2 years forming dense mounds. During warm weather it prolifically products 1" scarlet tubular flowers.

When available we also carry a pale yellow-flowered variety.
