The large amount of flamboyant color on this species creates a wonderful accent in a garden. Varieties can be in bush or vine form; colors vary. Once established, they tend to be carefree. All varieties are susceptible to frost damage. 'San Diego Red' blooms in red, with large green leaves. It is one of the hardiest, and will climb high.
