A vigorous upright plant producing long stems of mid-size candy red bracts from Autumn into Winter. Bract colour then changes in late Winter to red and cream.
Adaptible to a wide range of soil types that are well drained. For best colour plant in an open sunny situation. Pick stems for floral use as a form of pruning. Plants respond to being well pruned in late Spring - this will enhance flower production the following year. Reasonably frost tolerant once established. Avoid fertilisers. Very useful cutflower, excellent garden plant when in full colour during Autumn to Winter.
