Description

Lion’s Tail is a bold and architectural shrub that commands attention in the late season garden. In fall, it sends up tall, upright stems topped with striking, fuzzy, bright orange tubular flowers arranged in distinct, ball-like whorls that resemble a lion’s tail. These fiery blooms are a powerful magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Fast-growing and drought-tolerant, it adds a strong vertical element and vibrant, warm color to sunny borders, water-wise gardens, or as a dramatic container specimen.

• Striking Orange “Lion’s Tail” Flowers: Features unique, fuzzy, bright orange flowers held in whorls on tall, square stems.

• Top Hummingbird & Pollinator Plant: A premier nectar source for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees in the autumn.

• Fast-Growing & Drought Tolerant: Establishes quickly and thrives with minimal water once established.

• Semi-Deciduous in Cold: May die back with frost but often resprouts from the base in spring in milder climates (zones 8-11).

• Architectural Vertical Accent: Adds excellent height and a bold, structural presence to the garden.
