Lion's Tail is also known as Wild Dagga or Leonotis leonurus  is such a fun, unique and beautiful plant to grow. And an incredible pollinator and hummingbird attractor. Reported to have herbal and medicinal uses (we make no claims but internet searches will give you information).

While Lion's Tail is  not a perennial in the East Mountains climate, it self-seeds readily. Every location we had a plant last year has hundreds of seedlings this year. And the good thing about it being an annual is that it's very easy to remove those seedlings (or transplant them to a new location) if you ever don't want it in a particular area. Not so easy to do that with other perennial bushes, shrubs and trees.
