Features
The Christmas Catus features brightly colored tubular flowers at the ends of the branches from late fall to early winter. It has attractive green foliage when not in bloom.
The Christmas Catus is bestsuited for use in pots and containers. With its spreading habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the edge of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
