Until the cold weather arrives the Leonotis leonurus (lion’s tail, lion's tooth, lion's ear) keeps flowering into the late autumn. This semi-evergreen shrub is native to South Africa and Southern Africa where it makes a large shrub. In the U.K. it is treated more as a tender perennial grown for the whorls of orange flowers.
