Bees visit the abundant, colorful pendant flower clusters primarily for nectar during the extended summer bloom. The sterile hybrid produces few or no seed pods, minimizing litter and allowing energy to go into prolonged flowering. It performs best in well-drained soils in full sun and is valued as a shade or street tree in subtropical climates.
