Cantua buxifolia- Hot Pants

A Must have in your garden!

Cantua buxifolia- 'Hot Pants' also called Magic Flower.  the National Flower of Bolivia. For me this is a semi evergreen bush/small tree that can grows up to 8 feet tall here in my area.  The plant comes from Andes and is very, very beautiful indeed. A dazzling display in Spring/Summer of bright cerise, tubular flowers, 3" long, flaring at the tips in dense, terminal clusters   It grows well in full sun, well-draining soil, and regular watering.  
Enjoy!
