Klip Dagga is very adaptable: It thrives in a range of soils and conditions–even in containers–and reaches up to 10 feet tall! Klip Dagga’s fuzzy, orange, tubular flowers emerge from round masses of pincushion-like bracts that appear intermittently along its ridged, green stems. All parts of this plant have been used in traditional medicines for the treatment of various ailments. Hummingbirds and butterflies love its nectar-rich, fuzzy flower tubules that leap from sharp, spiky green bracts. Flowers starting late summer. The nectar has a sweet grapefruit taste, and many parts of this bitter plant have been used in traditional medicines. Moderately drought tolerant, prefers well-drained soils.

A fast-growing tropical annual, Klip Dagga has a playfully strange, Seussian sort of beauty–and this playfulness is magnified by the swooping, darting hummingbirds that come to drink its nectar. Klip Dagga is very easy to grow and absolutely stunning in late summer waving in the breeze. Plants grow 8-12′ tall and may require staking late in the season and in high wind areas.
