Coral fountain can reach a mature size of about 5' x 5' in frost-free climates. In colder climates, foliage will die back at freezing, but the plants will survive all but a hard frost. This is an excellent plant for containers, so plants can be moved to a sheltered location in winter for frost areas. Tubular red flowers appear spring through summer.

Frost tolerant to 30 F.
