Colquhounia coccinea 'Nepalese Flame'

• Evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub with exotic appeal
• Striking orange-red tubular flowers in late summer
• Aromatic foliage with year-round interest
• Ideal for sheltered borders and warm positions

Colquhounia coccinea ‘Nepalese Flame’ is an eye-catching shrub that brings a bold, exotic feel to the garden. From late summer into autumn, it produces clusters of vivid orange-red, tubular flowers that appear beautifully against its soft green foliage. These distinctive blooms add colour late in the season, making this shrub a valuable choice for extending interest beyond the main flowering months.

The foliage is gently aromatic when brushed and can remain evergreen or semi-evergreen in milder areas, providing year-round structure and texture. Best planted in a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil, ‘Nepalese Flame’ thrives against a warm wall or in a protected border. With its unusual flowers, rich colour and architectural habit, this shrub is perfect for gardeners looking to introduce something a little different with strong visual impact.
