Lion’s Ear
Lion’s Ear
Leonotis nepetifolia (90 days) Â Â
Soft orange flowers surround a bristly whorl and are a magnet for pollinators and hummingbirds. All ages love this plant in the garden– our children remove the flowers and suck the rich nectar lode at the base of each fuzzy orange trumpet. A striking herbaceous shrub up to 8 feet tall. Frost sensitive in areas with cold winters but perennial in subtropical and tropical climates. The unusual flowers make a striking addition to flower arrangements and this particular Lion’s Ear has a softer colored flowered which blends nicely with a wider range of color palettes. Also known as klip dagga, Lion’s Ear is a mint family species that may become a woody perennial in zone 8 or warmer areas. SSF
