Colorful flowers emerge in the short days of late winter into spring, and often youll see a few flowers in summer too. The bloom clusters appear in gold, orange and red tones and hummingbirds love to feast on the nectar. The Marmalade Bush is ideal for both baskets and standards since it has a somewhat weeping habit. It needs a shortening day length and full sun to flower well but this fast and vigorous grower will delight you with its colorful blooms.
