Description

This attractive shrub quickly reaches 8' tall and wide. From spring through fall, this plant has beautiful, tubular, yellow-orange flowers that attract hummingbirds. 'Sunrise' can be planted in full to part sun with low to medium watering, needing more during the hot summer months. Prune plant in early spring to keep it tidy. Spent flowers drop to the ground therefore no need to deadhead.
