鼠尾草 'Timboon'

The crimson flowers are almost fluorescent against the gray winter sky, and the bees haven't stopped visiting even in the cold snap. This is the first plant in my garden that actually looks alive in June.

Planted this in early autumn and the bees have been on it non-stop through the grey months, which is exactly what I needed. The leaves are big and lush, making the red flowers stand out even on the dullest days.

The crimson flowers are genuinely striking against the big green leaves, and they've been buzzing with bees every afternoon since I put them in. Even on the greyest days that color pops like crazy. Already ordered a second one for the other side of the path.
