There are only two or three species in this genus, all magnificent plants that can even be grown indoors as houseplants. Veltheimias are winter-growing, with dense spikes of tubular flowers that are usually pink, with rarer forms with yellow or white flowers. The
wavy leaves are extremely attractive, and the flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds. Suitable as a garden plant in milder climates, Veltheimias are hardy to Zones 9-10. SHIPS YEAR-ROUND
