Comments:

This little fellow is slow out of the blocks in spring. Twice I thought I had killed it, but never did. Leafs out in maybe May, and looks clean and green all summer. Down the home stretch.....about late September.....it is ablaze with hot red flame flowers, and the hummingbirds, bees, butterflies love it!!
