Comments:
This is a clump-forming tropical perennial that produces large paddle-shaped leaves and prominent orange colored flowers on tall stalks above the foliage. This is a popular cutflower in the florist trade as well as cash and carry floral outlets. Provide full sunlight and a well drained soil. Plants must be protected from freezing temperatures if grown outdoors.
