I bought a start from either Lowe's or HD but I could try to get some stems rooting in a bit of soil to share! Yes, it's the deepest red I have other than my Abutilon.

Everything in our front yard is either red or purple (with a little accent of yellow here & there). I'm a Red Hat Society chick. Also, we're going to be breeding Chinese Cresteds so we've adopted the red/purple as our theme colors.

Unfortunately, regardless of having feeders out (properly cleaned & filled) & getting flowers to tempt, we've never seen a hummingbird here! When I lived in ARkansas I had to replace two 2-liter feeders twice a day during the strongest part of the summer. I'd have at least 20 birds at anytime at each feeder & could stand there to let them light on my fingertips to feed from the nectar I provided them. I miss having them!
