A deciduous shrub with an upright, spreading habit, this vibrant beauty showcases vivid orange, funnel-shaped blooms in late spring, perfect for adding a burst of color to your garden. Suitable for USDA Zones 5-8, it thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and performs best in partial sun to dappled shade with moderate moisture. Its mature height reaches 4-6 feet, with a similar spread, creating a rounded form. While its green foliage turns appealing shades of yellow, orange, or red in the fall, it offers no fruit. This shrub provides moderate resistance to deer and serves as an excellent border or woodland-edge plant. It benefits from being protected from harsh afternoon sun in warmer climates to maintain its striking display.
