50+ Seeds. Lion's Ear (Leonotis nepetifolia), AKA: Devil's Pincushion (similar to Lion's Tail) (germination and growing instructions included, as always). Larger pack sizes are available, see drop down box near top of page to select larger sizes.

Lion's Ear is an excellent - super magnet for Hummingbirds as the Flowers produce copious amounts of nectar which also attracts Birds, Bees and Butterflies. The Hummingbirds will sip for longer than normal periods from one flower. Each Tubular Flower is a Hummingbird’s    Banquet . . . And, The Hummers keep coming back to the Pretty Orange Flowers all day long.

Lion's Ear, from South Africa, is a robust Tender Subtropical Perennial in warm climates growing 4' to 8'. Lion's Tail is an erect, loosely branched plant that can get 8’ tall in its growing season and holds its flowers high above most other annuals and perennials to make it easier for you to watch the hungry hummingbirds and butterflies that congregate around them. The stems are strongly angled (square in cross-section) and the leaves are in pairs opposite each other. 

Lion's Ear is very easy to grow and prefers Full Sun to intermittent shade, and will do best in well drained loamy soils with plenty of compost added. Lion's Ear grows rapidly and vigorously with regular watering, but still hangs on during drought. It should be well watered in summer. Once established, they require little extra irrigation except in containers or extremely well drained soils. 

This plant will look its best if dead flowers are trimmed and will still easily put on new growth and blooms. Lion's Tail is a fast growing tall plant that is slender in width and looks very attractive planted behind Salvias and Buddleias - it is especially attractive when planted in groups. 

Hardy in Zones 9b and above. Cooler climates can grow this Outstanding plant as an Exotic Annual.
