Take advantage of the burgundy stems to complement other purples in the garden. Foliage is fairly broad. Early summer. 4 ft. Vermillion flowers *Sun Zones 6, 7, 8, 9*
Brilliantly colored six petaled tubular flowers on arching stems rise out of lance shaped foliage in high summer. These cormous perennials are treasures from South Africa for the hot sunny border. Hummingbirds war over their blooms. Good for cut flowers. The dried seed heads are very attractive and useful for late summer or early fall arrangements.
