Anisicanthus quadrifidus, var. wrightii
Flame acanthus flowers from midsummer through frost, this drought-tough perennial shrub is covered with long, slender red or reddish-orange blooms that are hummingbird magnets. Flame acanthus loves the heat and is extremely drought tolerant, but will produce more flowers if watered a little more during the hottest, driest times. It generally stays under 3′ tall and wide but can grow up to 5′ or taller and 4′ wide.
This small shrubby plant is root hardy to Zone 7, but dies back in winter, so prune it back severely in February. New growth will emerge as spring temperatures warm up.
