This is a favorite plant for those seeking an early start to spring. It is an evergreen shrub that begins blooming in January, peaking in color just in time for Valentine's Day. The lipstick red, tubular flowers have made this an extremely popular plant. its modest growth habit to 4 by 5 feet, and hardiness to 15ºF. The leaves are small, rounded and typically green except during winter when the leaves may take on a reddish cast. This is an excellent plant for streetscapes, golf courses and other commercial properties with open terrain and full sun.
