It's not as showy as the red Turks Cap, but I thought it really popped this morning. It's a great plant under deciduous tree canopies such as the way I have it growing. It spreads vigorously. It is a larval plant for Hairstreak and Sulphur butterflies. Hummingbirds love it. It does not seem to be particular about sun - I have red, pink and white Turks Cap varieties, and all of them are growing in sunny and shady spots. Also, the seeds pods are edible. They look like tiny apples, and they taste a bit like an apple (except pithier).
