Orange Carpet Hummingbird Trumpet

Like a wildfire in bloom, ‘Orange Carpet’ Epilobium spills across the garden with intense, fiery orange-red trumpet flowers, calling in hummingbirds like a beacon. From mid-summer through fall, this low-growing, spreading perennial forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat of fuzzy green foliage, reaching just 4-6 inches tall but spreading up to 30 inches wide. Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free, this vibrant groundcover thrives where others struggle—rocky slopes, dry soil, and even neglected garden corners. Whether tumbling over stone walls, filling gaps in rock gardens, or softening pathways, ‘Orange Carpet’ delivers nonstop color and movement in the late-season garden.
