Description:
Everybody knows the bright red cousin of this impressive plant. This is a slightly more subtle version which has narrow upright leaves and a flower steam that can reach 1m. The flowers start off a pinky/orange shade and fade to a lighter cream colour.
Care:
They really like sandy, well-drained soil. Don't plant these guys in clay! They are clump forming so can be divided once established.
