Chinese Hat Plant (Holmskioldia sanguinea): Unique Cup-and-Saucer Blooms

Chinese Hat Plant (Holmskioldia sanguinea) is a sprawling shrub named for its extraordinary flowers — a tubular red corolla seated in a broad, saucer-like calyx that persists after the flower falls. Also called Cup-and-Saucer or Parasol Flower, it blooms heavily in winter and spring, attracting hummingbirds. Native to the Himalayas, it thrives in warm, sheltered gardens.
