For sizzling warm-season color, look no farther than Solar Flare. Tangy tangerine flowers attract hummingbirds from spring through fall. Full sun and reflected heat locations are ideal for this heat-loving shrub. Solar Flare grows rapidly to a mature size of six feet tall and wide. Freezing temperatures will burn the foliage, but simply cut plants back hard to rejuvenate in the early spring.
