This perennial herb is also known as Scarlet Gilia and Skunkflower. It can grow to 5 feet tall, with low-growing, fern-like leaves and trumpet flowers that range from white, pink, and brilliant orange-red. Though beautiful and eye-catching, this plant gives off a slightly skunky smell, which explains one of its nicknames. Scarlet Skyrocket grows best in partial shade, and in dry, sandy and loamy soils.
