Garden Origin

Very narrow, smoky/purple, lance-shaped leaves and dainty, orchid-like peachy/orange coloured flowers. Intrigue is grown mainly for its foliage which gives great vertical accents to a planting scheme and contrasts superbly with the large round leaves of Colocasias.
Grow in rich, fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun/part shade.

Height and spread after 1 – 2 years 1.5m x 50cm
