Scrophularia macrantha | Perennial | North American Native
The name says it all. Red Birds in a Tree produces generous sprays of vivid crimson tubular flowers above rich, deep green serrated foliage from June all the way through frost — creating a hummingbird feeding frenzy that never seems to stop. A rare cousin of penstemon native to the southwestern uplands of New Mexico, this striking perennial has proven remarkably adaptable in Colorado Springs gardens and delivers months of bold color with very little fuss.
