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.
Fiery Orange-Red Hummingbird Flowers: Produces a prolific display of slender, glowing orange-red tubular flowers that are irresistible to hummingbirds and butterflies.
Unmatched Heat and Drought Tolerance: Thrives in full, blazing sun and becomes remarkably drought-resistant once its roots are established.
Dense, Spreading Habit: Forms a broad, mounding shrub (about 2 ft. tall by 3 ft. wide) covered in blooms, making it excellent for covering ground or spilling over walls.
Self-Cleaning and Disease Resistant: The flowers drop cleanly without deadheading, and it has no serious pest or disease issues. It is also reliably deer-resistant.
Year-Round Interest in Mild Climates: In frost-free areas, it can bloom nearly year-round, providing constant color and life to the garden.
