Often called the “Magic Tree” or “Sacred Flower of the Incas,” Cantua is an extremely showy shrub that can reach 7’ tall and wide, with arching branches laden with Springtime tubular flowers in bright pinks, vibrant purples - even candy-striped! Extremely popular with hummingbirds for its 3” nectar tubes, Cantua's glowing flowers add drama and vivid color to garden beds and flower arrangements. This rare perennial can be pruned to smaller sizes, does well in rich soil, likes the sun by the coast but prefers some shade further inland.
