Description

So named because the orange-red tubular flowers with their ashen end look like tiny lit cigars.

Whilst perennial, it is frost tender so either needs to be grown in the garden as an annual where it will flower almost continually until the first frosts knock it down - or lifted from the garden and grown on as a houseplant for the winter where it will continue to flower and please.

In the garden border it can easily produce a shrubby plant up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall within a couple of months. In a container or pot it can be pruned and maintained at around 8" (20 cm) tall or more.

Can easily be propagated from cuttings or by saving seed.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

  • Prefer a well drained soil - and once established will tolerate drought conditions.
  • Thrives in full sun.
  • Perennial in habit, but will require winter frost protection.
  • Plant 24" (60 cm) apart.
