Chicklet® Red esperanza offers a summer-long banquet of bold, trumpet-shaped blooms that glow in vibrant scarlet red. Each flower is kissed with a soft orange throat, a natural beacon guiding pollinators straight to their sweet reward. From the first warm days of summer until frost settles in, this radiant shrub blooms with unstoppable energy, filling your garden with color, movement, and life. Chicklet® Red isn’t just beautiful, it’s remarkably reliable. Heat, drought, deer, even the threat of disease can’t deter it from putting on a brilliant display.
