The Chuparosa means "Hummingbird" in Spanish.  It's an evergreen, twiggy bush which can grow to five feet.  It is almost leafless with tubular red flowers which bloom continuously through the fall.  Older, less green branches should be pruned off at the end of the flowering season.

This is the Real Manzanita Tree
