The red flowers of this plant are striking and beautiful.  This is another plant that lays low the first year to grow roots.  It will just be a small rosette the first year.  The second year, however, it will send up shoots with brilliant red flowers that attract long-tongued bees and hummingbirds.  It is a short lived perennial, so plants only last 2 or 3 years.  It will, however, reseed and make new plants.
