COMMENTS:
This outstanding plant is a native plant of the
Rocky Mountains and bears thick, upright spikes of
orange flowers. It forms a dense 3-inch sphere of
foliage covered with flowers from June to frost.
Very easily grown in well-drained average soil kept
on the dry side. The nectar-rich flowers are much
loved by hummingbirds.
