Rating for this plant:
The 3rd and 4th images are of a plant growing in my usda zone 11 garden close to 1 year and it is growing beautifully. At 4'(1.2m) in height and spread, the plant has the potential to grow to 8'(2.4m) in height. After one year, i've experienced no insect or disease problems. The flowers newly opened are coral and within a couple of days change to red. I am delighted with this plant which is popular with butterflies and hummingbirds for nectar and a host plant for various butterflies in my area.

I like this opinion
