- Description
There’s a lot to love about this compact, heat-loving shrub with its large red trumpet-like flowers and long summer-frost bloom time. Whether Chicklet Red esperanza is planted in the landscape or garden in the South and Southwest or as a patio or “Decked-Out” plant for the North, the rocking red flowers just keep on coming– and so do the hummingbirds.
