Description
Create a striking display with this elegant, fast-growing shrub admired for its unique, lantern-like flowers. Suspended from graceful arching stems, the blooms feature vivid scarlet-red calyces surrounding bright yellow petals, creating a colourful display from late spring until the first frosts, and often for much longer in mild climates.
Its slender branches and fresh green, heart-shaped foliage make this versatile plant ideal for training against a wall or trellis, growing through other shrubs, or spilling attractively from large patio containers and hanging baskets. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, bringing both beauty and wildlife to the garden.
Easy to grow in a sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Light pruning in early spring helps maintain its graceful shape and encourages vigorous new growth and abundant flowering throughout the season.
