Ruttya ovata

Ruttya ovata is a vibrant shrub, easily identifiable by its glossy, ovate leaves and tubular, orange to red flowers, which dangle elegantly from the branches. These blooms are a beacon for pollinators in its native habitat, harmoniously coexisting within woodland edges and rocky slopes. Adapted to such environments, ruttya ovata flourishes in well-drained soil, preferring dappled sunlight that nurtures its distinctive, continuous flowering.
