Lion's Tail (Leonotis leonurus) is a bold, fast-growing flowering shrub admired for its unusual orange blooms and striking upright form. Narrow, dark green leaves provide an attractive backdrop for fuzzy, tubular flowers arranged in distinctive circular whorls along tall stems. Blooming from late spring through fall, these vibrant flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, bringing movement and color to the garden. Its naturally clumping growth habit creates a dramatic vertical accent in sunny borders and mixed plantings. Once established, Lion's Tail thrives in heat and dry conditions with minimal watering. Perfect for Mediterranean-style landscapes, wildlife gardens, and large patio containers, it delivers spectacular seasonal color with relatively little maintenance.
