Description

Zauschneria latifolia Woody's Peach Surprise ('Woody's Peach Surprise Fire Chalice) is a low growing form of Fire Chalice flowering with light, peach-pink flowers, coloring the garden in late summer and early fall. An unusual color in this genus of orange and scarlet bloomers, Hummingbirds will be sure and visit the flowers. Provide summer water for best growth and bloom.

Planting & Care

Zauschneria (Hummingbird Trumpet, California Fuchsia, Fire Chalice) a genus of western US native wildflowers known for their fiery orange/scarlet flowers that bloom in late summer and fall. Pink or coral-colored flowers are very rare. All colored flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds.

Preferred growing conditions:

  • Plant in well-drained soil type but avoid clay. Position in a full sun location. Groundcover-type, Orange Carpet, enjoys some afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Zauschneria seems to particularly like growing on hillsides or sloping beds to enhance winter drainage. Avoid planting in depressions that collect water.
  • Mulch with gravel or pine needles. Zauschneria enjoy cool roots and sunny tops so mulching is very beneficial.
  • Water regularly during the first growing season to establish the plant. These are xeric plants but don't like to be grown too dry. Weekly or bi-weekly deep watering is needed when conditions are dry in the heat of summer.
  • Deadheading is not needed.
  • Fertilize lightly in the fall with Yum Yum

Special comments:

  • Leave standing over the winter. Cut back to just above ground level in mid-spring.
  • Zauschneria spread by underground roots and should be given room to spread. If they grow too wide for their space, dig suckers in early to mid-spring and replant.
  • Watch for fleabeetles which can defoliate the plants in late spring/early summer.
