I flower from winter through to late spring with showy dark red outward-facing blooms that sit above rich deep green foliage. My flowers become darker as they bloom.
I am a long lived evergreen perennial. I naturally have a rounded form and work well in shaded areas of the garden year round.
I am a good choice for pots and general container planting to brighten up a shaded balcony or paved areas.
I am low maintenance and am tolerant of dry conditions and light frosts.
