2016 Green Thumb Award winner. Long lived perennial plant native to the southwest (New Mexico and Arizona) small in stature, big in bloom. Hummingbirds are attracted (also, pollinate) to its orange bloom in late spring to early summer. Luminous prefers dry and poor, well-drained soil and a lot of sun in Zones 5 -9. Its presentation is well summed up by its name.
