Familiar names include Mimbres figwort, New Mexico Figwort, and Redbirds in a Tree. Hummingbirds are attracted to the red tubular flowers at the ends of each stem. It is in bloom from spring through fall without deadheading. A great xeriscaping plant once established, requiring little water. It can grow to around 2-3 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide. The leaves are toothed, and the dark green color is a perfect background for the vibrant red bird-like flowers. It prefers to grow in full sun to part shade with average water needs at first and then little is needed.
