The stiff, unbranched, 2-4 ft. stem of this sparsely leaved biennial can reach 6 ft. Showy, red, tubular flowers, widely flaring at the rim, are marked with orange or yellowish spots inside. Flowers are arranged in a thick spike, opening from the tip of the stem downward.
Wildlife habitat yard.
An excellent variety to attract hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden. Drought tolerant once it becomes established.
