My favorite plant in my garden, it blooms almost non-stop here in zone 8 from spring till frost, the blooms cover every bit of it, and it attracts the hummers like crazy. Anywhere I take this plant with me, I'm sure to make some winged friends. I've tried providing them with other hummer-friendly plants, but they always prefer Hot Lips. A small start will quickly grow into a large shrub in two seasons. I think everyone should grow this plant!

This plant has been a very vigorous grower for me even in clay soil, and was the first of my 50 daylilies to bloom this year.
