Add tropical flare to your containers and gardens, with this showy free-bloomer all summer long. A mix of pineapple-yellow and cherry-pink flowers resemble its namesake tropical dessert, and are highlighted by its shiny green foliage in a never-ending display that is attractive to pollinators, especially hummingbirds. Drought tolerant ‘Fruit Cocktail‘ flowers in sun or shade, though plants may be healthiest and most floriferous when grown with afternoon or midday shade, in well-drained, average moist, moderately fertile soils. Use it to brighten south, east or west exposures. It’s usually not bothered by deer and rabbits, but no plant is completely resistant to herbivores.
