(aka: Jacobinia suberecta, Justicia suberecta) Dicliptera suberecta is one of the few ornamentals from Uruguay that we grow...makes you wonder what else might be there. The felty, grey leaves adorn this 20" tall x 3' wide, heat- and drought-loving deciduous clump, topped from late spring until fall with terminal clusters of tubular orange flowers...a hummingbird's dream come true...ours also.

The leaves are a lovely silvery green, and the orange flowers zing against them. Once it starts blooming, it is a powerhouse that blooms until frost. It is drought tolerant and thrives in my raised beds. It's not reliably hardy for me, but I like it so much that in those years that it does not return, I replace it. Lovely plant.
