Description
2001 Plant Select Winner 4-6" tall x 15-18" wide. This superb Hummingbird Trumpet spreads like a groundcover to form a loose mat of low growing, bright green foliage. In mid-to-late summer it lights up the garden with a profusion of bright-orange flowers that last for many weeks. Regular watering when in bloom keeps the flowers coming. Plant in well-drained, compost-enriched soil. 'Orange Carpet' prefers some afternoon shade, especially at lower elevations. Originally selected by David Salman of High Country Gardens. (cutting propagated)

Good plant
"So far so good ð green when it came in lil brown at the base seems to be doing good. Can't wait to see it come to life"
Well, I haven't planted it
"Well, I haven't planted it the ground yet but I have planted it in a pot for now and it is growing by leaps and bounds. Thank you."
In the ground. . 3days. . had a few
"In the ground. . 3days. . had a few dry leaves still green on top"
"Most of the plants were dead."
Great for wildlife
"A very unique agastache, love the creeping habit and does very well in my part sun areas. After establishing I usually don't have to water, and hummingbirds love this one over my other varieties."
Is there a better western plant to attract hummingbirds?
"I've had these quite a few years, never water them anymore and they bloom from late June till frost even in our drought years. They spread a good bit by runners, if you plant them in a rock garden with other small plants you'll have to pull a decent bit every year or they might dominate your other plants, I take the majority of them and pot them up for a couple months to better develop roots than plant them out in different spots of the garden and give a few to neighbors each spring. This species(Epilobium canum var. garrettii) grows all the way from Joshua tree national park where average precip is 8"" and summers are hot and winters are mild, all the way to Yellowstone where precipitation is 30"", summers are mild and winters are brutally cold… I mention this because this plant is extremely adaptable to different conditions. Grows best for me in full sun and little to no supplemental water, also seems to grow better on a slope or rocky area. Sorry for the photo overload…."
great plant
"I have had this plant in my front garden which faces west and it does terrific, I love this plant but find it hard to find in nurseries and bigger sizes without spending alot. But, I always look for it and but in when I can. I have some in planters and some in hanging pots on my patio. You can never go wrong with this plant and the hummingbirds love it."
Poor bloomer in New England (but hardy!)
"I had high hopes for this one for a late-season hummingbird attractor. It's proven itself plenty hardy in southern New Hampshire, but after three years, I've only seen a handful of blooms well after most hummers have left the area. I suspect it works better in other areas, but it's not a great bloomer here."
Seems happy and blooming in first season
"I planted this up on a raised Rockwall to cascade over it. It gets about half a day of full sun, but the rocks get very hot. It is growing vigorously and blooming in its first year after planting just a few months ago. . . always a happy surprise with perennials! I'm excited to see what it does next year."
Nice front boarder to larger planting area
"Nice compact plant with attractive foliage. Bright red flowers but so far not as densely flowered as I had hoped vs the pictures, although this is only the second season and we had an extremely rainy spring which may have thrown it off. I have 3 in different parts of the garden, would look nice to use a few in closer proximity to have a higher impact. Great size to place in front of mid-size plants as a boarder plant. Not super leggy so they hold up to wind and have taken very little extra effort to care for them."
