Hummingbird trumpet plants are long-flowering perennials, typically blooming from summer until fall.
Part of the evening primrose plant family, Onagraceae, this plant is renowned for its resilience, thriving in poor soils, with little water and tolerating searing temperatures.
The hummingbird trumpet plant is a vigorous native plant that will bloom all through summer, producing masses of zingy orange flowers.
It is low-growing, forming dense carpets or mats wherever planted, so it is a good option for those seeking ground cover plants.
'Whether you are looking to line a pathway or fill a large, sun-soaked area of the yard, hummingbird trumpet plants will be a tough and tolerant option.'
What's more, these plants are some of the best perennials if you are seeking wildlife garden ideas or looking to attract hummingbirds to your plot.
'And it is not just these miniature but mighty birds that will come flocking, but bees and butterflies too, all drawn to the nectar-rich offerings inside these tubular blooms.'
