Nectarium

A sweet nectar-filled compilation for hummingbirds and butterflies. AND a true drought tolerant super star. Unusual flowers blend with fine wispy leaves and thick juicy succulents. Tall Mounds of ferny-leaved Grevillea's drip with sweet syrup, clumping hesperaloes arc with long coral flower stalks and hot-hued aloes, fire pokers and California Fuschia's offer firework-like explosions of color.
