Coral Canyon Twinspur
Coral Canyon twinspur is a beautiful, slow-spreading groundcover. Its best attribute is that its spikes of coral-pink flowers bloom for a long period of time. It flowers from summer well into fall, when other plants have gone dormant.
The blossoms grow in graceful spikes above small, deep green leaves. It is tolerant of sunny, warm conditions.
