| Comments | Juvenile plants do not show spots. Low maintenance. The 1 inch long flowers are dull white and bloom in late summer in a loose spike on top of a 4 foot stalk. Drought and humidity tolerant. Hummingbirds love. We recommend transplanting to a 4" pot from a plug, not a larger size container. |
