It grows 70cm to 1.2m tall and only 35cm to 50cm wide, so all that colour fits into a bed or a big pot. It is raised from seed rather than from a heavy rhizome, so it arrives as a young plant ready to grow on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBicolour blooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each flower is orange-red with a yellow edge, which reads like a flame from across the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA long run of colour.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowering starts in mid spring and continues until the frosts, so the show lasts the whole warm season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalm green leaves.\u003c\/strong\u003e The broad green foliage steadies the bright flowers and keeps the clump lush even between blooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow enough for patio pots.\u003c\/strong\u003e A spread of 35cm to 50cm sits comfortably on a deck, balcony or courtyard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat loving.\u003c\/strong\u003e It takes hot weather in its stride, and the roots are rated hardy to -12C for cold winters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot colour borders.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in groups of three or five, about 45cm apart.

Plant it into warm soil for the quickest start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTube stock comes from our grower and is not always available. When the grower has none, the tube shows as sold out on this page, and the notify button emails you the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
