"I have a bunch of gardens planted around my house after a devastating fire, to help the bees and hummingbirds. I ordered a few of these creepers to place above retaining walls and to add a pop of color. Mine are planted in full sun, 5550 feet elevation. They grew quickly and flowered the latter part of July. Attaching a pic of the plant at 2. 5 months old. Will order more."

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."
— JKP (5/5)
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."
2001 Plant Select Winner 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)
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.
