Sunset-toned blooms on a full, well-branched shrub
Warm, sunset-colored trumpet blooms stand out against glossy green foliage, bringing long-lasting color to patios, borders, and entryways. Its compact, shrub-like habit works especially well in containers or as a seasonal landscape accent.
Superior branching gives the plant a naturally full appearance, while strong flower power keeps the display going through warm weather. It thrives in heat and sun and can be overwintered indoors where winters are cold.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. In colder climates, grow it in a container that can be moved indoors before frost.
2. Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid leaving the roots in soggy soil, and check container-grown plants more often during hot weather.
3. Pruning: Trim lightly as needed to maintain a compact shape and encourage branching. Remove damaged growth, and wear gloves to avoid contact with the milky sap.
4. Fertilizing: Feed every two to four weeks during active growth with a balanced or bloom-supporting fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
