Description

'La Jolla' is a beautiful, reliable shrub that quickly reaches 4'-5' tall and wide. Foliage is dark green and evergreen. Bracts are red, with small white flowers (however most people assume the bracts are the flowers). The flamboyant red is seen from spring through fall. It does best in full sun. It is drought tolerant once it's established. This plant tolerates coastal conditions as well as heat in warmer inland valleys. It is used as ground cover or to cover a hillside.
