ID request, sorry no picture here at work.

Perennial, gray leaves (kinda like lambs ear but not as cushy), red flowers, spreads to 3-4 feet, height maybe up to 18 inches, branches break easily, propagation simple-stick a broken branch in the ground.

I live in South Central TX (90 miles northe of Houston) and got the plant at a nursery in Nacogdoches. It does well in winter, coming back every year.

It has a real long name that I can't remember. I can sent a picture tomorrow.

Thanks for your assistance.

Remember, be good to our earth and those that share it with us.

Border Patrol, when you do get a picture, start a new thread with it, please. This one is solved and will be marked as solved so very few folks will see your post and picture, making it very hard to get an ID.
