Also called Honey Bird Bush. Drought tolerant, Cold hardy to 28 degrees F. Have seen Hummingbirds, Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, and Butterflies feeding on this bush. Mine is 8'-10' tall, and diameter at base is 5-7 feet. Has weeping tendency. Enjoy having it in my garden. Can handle a lot of Decomposed Granite in soil.
