Olive-green and leathery narrow swords are margined with curling white filaments. Together these elegant leaves form a fountain that fairly catapults a 3-foot arching stem, the length of which is bejeweled with coral-pink flowers that have deep yellow throats. Bloom time is a good 3 months! (You scarcely see the leaves because the flowers are so striking.) Hummingbirds will visit often and if near a window, can entertain you for hours. Give this plant space to set off its architectural nature. Heat- and cold-tolerant! An evergreen Tex-Mex native.

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.
