From summer through frost, this sizzling performer is smothered in fiery red trumpet-shaped blooms that never fade even in the most intense summer heat, a true beacon for hummingbirds and pollinators. Its drought tolerance, long bloom season, and small footprint make it an outstanding choice for hot, sunny gardens and container displays.

• Fiery red trumpet-shaped blooms from summer through frost
• Bloom color stays vivid and unfaded even in intense summer heat
• Irresistible to hummingbirds and pollinators all season long
• Compact 3–4 ft. tall x 2–3 ft. wide, no invasive spreading

Plant Chicklet Red Trumpet Bush in full sun in fertile, well-drained to dry soil. This heat-loving shrub thrives in the warmest, sunniest spots in the garden and is an outstanding container plant for patios and decks. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as it becomes drought-tolerant. In zones 8–11 it is evergreen and blooms reliably from summer to frost; in colder zones, treat as a spectacular container annual and bring indoors before frost. Prune lightly in early spring after leafing out to encourage dense new growth.
