It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide, performing best when grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and coastal environmnents. “Double Take Orange” is commonly added to a mixed planting, grown for floral art, used as an informal or formal hedge, or planted in clusters for a stunning display. It is an attractive and easy to grow plant that is very rewarding.
