Family Asphodelaceae
Originating from Southern Africa

Masses of rich green architectural rosettes of recurving succulent leaves form a vigorously growing dense and lush-looking plant, adorned in spring with gracefully upswept blood-red flower spikes. Each spike carries numerous red hot poker-like tubular flowers that are most attractive to pollinators. Making a stunning summer patio plant, for a sunny or partially shaded position. It can be pruned back to a manageable size – useful for moving plants into a conservatory or heated greenhouse for the winter. Easy to grow in free-draining compost.

Height and spread after 5 – 10 years if not pruned 2.5m x 2.5m.
