Turk's Cap

Plant in well-drained to average soil in partial to full sun; Turk's cap is one of the most shade-tolerant flowering natives for the Gulf South and performs well under the canopy of live oaks. The distinctive red flowers never fully open, forming a twisted turban shape, and are a top hummingbird nectar source from summer through fall. Small red fruits that follow are edible and mildly sweet — birds devour them quickly, and new plants sprout readily from seeds they drop. Prune back to 12–18 in in late winter; in zone 7–8 the top dies back but the roots are reliably hardy to about 10°F. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 36–72 дюймів Висота: 36–84 дюймів Дні до схожості: 21–30 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–29°C
