Dicliptera suberecta (Hummingbird Plant)

SunZone: 7-10, at least 20" tall Origin: Uruguay

(aka: Jacobinia suberecta, Justicia suberecta) We have had so many requests from garden visitors for this plant, so here it is again. This is one of the few ornamentals from Uruguay that we grow...makes you wonder what else might be there. The felty grey leaves adorn this 20" tall x 3' wide, heat- and drought-loving clump, topped from late spring until fall with terminal clusters of tubular orange flowers...a hummingbird's dream come true...ours also. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
