Hummingbirds, birds and bees cannot resist the nectar-filled flowers of this stunning evergreen shrub that is covered in 5-inch panicles of coral, pink and yellow blooms year-round in frost free areas.

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.
Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
