Calceolaria integrifolia 'Kentish Hero'

For eye popping brightness, this flower would be hard to beat. It will flower throughout the summer in wild abandon. Is it an annual, only living one year? Not really, because in milder climates it will live over winter and rebloom the next summer. To survive, the climate does not really need to be very mild. It will survive here outdoors where we have seen it covered in snow, and then been happily surprised to note it regrowing and continuing to bloom the following summer.
