CHICKLET® Red Trumpet Bush

Refilling a hummingbird feeder is a lot of work, try planting Chicklet Red esperanza instead! It blooms from summer until frost with big red trumpet shaped blooms. At the center of each bloom is a pale orange throat, signaling to pollinators just where they need to go for a sip of something sweet. Its determination to bloom continuously is matched by its consistency in tough garden conditions. It will thrive despite heat, drought, deer, and resist disease all the while. Although it’s not as small as a hummingbird feeder, it’s a manageable size and responds well to pruning. As its flowers are borne on new growth, you can safely prune it in early spring without sacrificing the show. It’s easy to make space for this brightly colored beauty – it might just be the lowest maintenance hummingbird feeder you’ve ever seen!Why grow Chicklet Red esperanza?Long blooming periodBright red coloringAttracts pollinators – including hummingbirds!
