Produces tall spikes with masses of small red flowers in summer.
Position - under protected partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour. Flowering will only occur in good light. Will take mild frosts and moderate heat.
Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when
Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.
