Arrestingly beautiful in bloom, this rare and aristocratic shrub-like perennial native to the Canary Islands makes a fabulous specimen for the dryish garden or large container. To 4’ tall and 3’ across, it is related to Foxgloves and bears regal 1’ long dense upright spires of hooded flowers in glowing sunset colors of rust, vermillion and gold. Held attractively above nicely offsetting deep green serrated leaves on stiff branching reddish stems, the blooms appear in late May and continue till October. Average, well drained soil is important and just a bit of Summer water now and then will make for best show. Rarely lives past year 3, but a real stunner while he’s with us! Hardy to 25° and deer resistant.
