Gran Canon Bush Snapdragon

An upright to arching, 3-6 foot tall evergreen shrub with numerous, rush-like almost leafless stems that bear 1 inch long tubular red flowers in spring and summer. Decumbent stems may take root and promote lateral spread. 'Gran Canon' is a fast growing, fine-textured, floriferous plant that complements bold forms or spiny succulents in the garden.

Grow in full sun to light shade. Tolerates the summer drought typical of southern California but accepts moderate to regular watering. Accepts most soils, but best in well-drained soils if regularly watered. Galvezia 'Gran Canon' has no known pests or diseases. With occasional irrigation, it flowers practically year-round and is an incredible magnet for hummingbirds. Makes an attractive specimen in decorative pots.
