Dicliptera suberecta (Hummingbird Plant)

Dicliptera suberecta, commonly known as the Hummingbird Plant, is a low, bushy perennial valued for its soft, velvety grey-green foliage and bright tubular flowers. It forms a spreading, mounded habit that works well as a soft filler plant in mixed borders and container displays.

From warm seasons onward, it produces masses of upright, reddish-orange tubular flowers that are highly attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators. Its long flowering period, drought tolerance once established, and compact form make it a reliable choice for low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly planting schemes.
