Also known as Lion’s Tail, Leonotis leonurus Orange is native to South Africa. It is a large evergreen shrub with furry foliage that shows off tiered whorls of bright orange tubular flowers. Lions Tail will flower for most of the year in warmer climates, peaking in summer in cooler climates. Excellent for the hot and dry areas of most gardens, Lions Tail can be used for hedges and borders as well as pots and containers. Prune back after flowering to maintain shape and a compact bushy habit.
