Flame Acanthus

Flame Acanthus (Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii) is one of the finest native shrubs for attracting hummingbirds to Central Texas gardens. Its bright orange-red tubular flowers bloom from summer into fall, providing color during the hottest months when many other plants have stopped flowering. Flame Acanthus thrives in full sun, tolerates drought and poor soils, and is highly resistant to deer, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly, low-maintenance landscapes.
