A Southern Oregon and Northern California native:  Unbelievable, glossy, crimson firecracker blooms with recurving light green tips hang in open pendent clusters May to July. Grassy stems are long and mingle with the flowers, and developing buds are erect at the same time that mature flowers hang down. The complex tips of the flowers encourage close inspection, comprised as they are of recurving light green tips, a light yellow corona like a small petticoat, yellow-white anthers, and interior crimson spots. All that apparently signals something delicious to hummingbirds. It's 20" T and slowly naturalizing if it finds itself in advantageous conditions; its native environment ranges from open woodland to coastal meadows.

Minimum temperature: -20° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
