It grows 70cm to 1.2m tall and just 35cm to 50cm wide, so it suits a patio pot as easily as a garden bed. Raised from seed instead of a heavy rhizome, it comes as a young tubestock plant that is easy to ship and easy to settle in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA soft, warm flower colour.\u003c\/strong\u003e The peachy pink blooms sit as well beside bright tropical colours as beside pale cottage plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers from mid spring to the first frosts.\u003c\/strong\u003e New blooms keep opening for months, which is good value from a single plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLush green leaves.\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad leaves give a tropical look through summer and form a fresh backdrop for the flowers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSized for pots.\u003c\/strong\u003e The narrow spread keeps it in proportion on a balcony, deck or courtyard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTough once settled.\u003c\/strong\u003e It handles heat and dry spells, and the roots are rated hardy to -12C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalconies and courtyards.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use one plant per pot of 30cm or wider, with at least half a day of direct sun.
