Epilobium canum ‘Schieffelin’s Choice’ is a low-growing California native hybrid featuring fuzzy, silver-gray to blue-green leaves and vibrant orange-red trumpet flowers. Uses include erosion control, groundcover, border, rock garden, slope landscaping. Useful in seacoast landscapes. Prefers full sun, but is moderately shade-tolerant, successfully handling light afternoon shade in hot inland desert or valley conditions. It is highly adaptable to different soil conditions. It thrives in well-drained, sandy, gritty, or rocky soils, but can tolerate lean clay if not overwatered. It is highly drought-resistant once established but blooms more profusely with occasional deep watering every 2–3 weeks during peak summer heat. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Deer-resistant. Cold hardy to 5°F.
