Coral Canyon Twinspur
Coral Canyon twinspur is a stunning, slow-spreading groundcover. Its standout feature is the long-lasting spikes of coral-pink flowers that bloom from summer through fall, outlasting many other plants. The blossoms rise gracefully above small, deep green leaves. Some years, it is still blooming in November.
Coral Canyon twinspur thrives in sunny, warm conditions. It may fade out after several years of growth, but is worth replanting periodically for its beautiful color and long bloom time.
