Marin Pink Hummingbird Trumpet
Epilobium (syn Zauschneria) canum 'Marin Pink'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Onagraceae
Plant Description: As indicated by the name this tubular flower is a favorite of hummingbirds. Unlike most hummingbird trumpets, which have orange-red flowers, this cultivar has also pink flowers. The sage green foliage has a mounding habit and spreads as it grows. Great when used in rock walls or areas where it is given room to spread. Vigorous and easy to grow.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
