This charming little bat flower delights with multicolor flowers- tubular and shades of pink and yellow. The petals that serve as the bat’s ears are maroon. Wonderful long blooming plant- flowers continuously all summer to autumn. To 1′ tall and as wide. It excels in rich, well drained soil with regular summer water in full sun. Loved by hummingbirds, butterflies and pollinators in general. As an annual it is wonderful as a continuous flowering container subject. Native to Mexico. Photo from Xera Plants.
