Also known as Chuparosa or simply Desert Honeysuckle, this medium, perennial shrub grows to 4 by 6 feet. It is deciduous and hardy, growing in full sun and rocky soils, with low to medium water needs. Hummingbirds are highly attracted to its orangish-red tubular flowers, which bloom mainly in the spring but can appear all year depending on how much moisture the plant receives.
