Otherwise known as Beloperone and Chuparosa, this sprawling, attractive shrub grows to 3 by 4 feet in size with red, tubular flowers, though a yellow variety exists as well. Growing in full sun and dry, rocky soils, this perennial plant is very hardy, drought tolerant, and an excellent plant for hummingbirds.
