The common names are inspired by the shape of the leaves or the flowers. It blooms from March well into November in the city.
In warmer places, I flower almost year-round. The sight of my dangling bell-shape flowers is alluring.
Not only people adore me, butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds all love me.
