Leonotis leonurus is a broadleaf, evergreen shrub with an upright, clumping habit and featuring dark green, narrow, lanceolate leaves with a soft serrated edge and bright orange tubular blooms in dense, circular, tiered whorls that completely encircle the tall, square stems. Evergreen in mild climates, semi-evergreen or deciduous in cold climates. Uses include informal hedges and screens, container, focal point. Excellent in seacoast and desert landscapes. Moderate tolerance of urban conditions. Medium water use when installed and acclimating; low water use once established. It is very drought tolerant. Adapts to sand, loam, or chalk; requires sharply well-drained soil and cannot tolerate standing water. It requires full sun for compact structure and maximum blooms, though it prefers light afternoon shade in hot inland areas. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
