Description

David Verity Cigar Plant is a celebrated and reliable garden performer, renowned for its endless production of fiery orange-red, tubular flowers from spring until hard frost. The slender blooms, tipped with a small, darker mouth, are a favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies. This evergreen shrub forms a dense, spreading mound of slender green foliage, often with purplish tips. Exceptionally tolerant of heat, drought, and poor soils, it’s a virtually carefree way to add vibrant, long-lasting color to any sunny spot.
