Its green, lance-shaped leaves are accented by yellow-orange tubular flowers in early summer. Suitable for USDA zones 9-11, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. With a low-maintenance profile and drought tolerance, it's excellent for adding a vertical element and exotic flair to xeriscapes and rock gardens.
