Great tropical plant, this will give your garden an exotic look and feel.
-
Ornamental: Beautiful, tropical flowering plant with lush leaves all year round. Prolific flower spikes look like fire-sticks, glowing iridescent – even at night they stand out!
-
Beneficial insects: Attracts lots of bees – they love it. Attracts butterflies and some nectar feeding birds.
-
Medicinal: Aqueous Extract of leaf used for profound lowering of blood pressure. Several other medicinal uses with lots of research on this species.
Planting:
Cuttings can be rooted very easily – place in a few cms of water. Change water every other day. Or place into moist soil and keep damp.
Plant in part shade to full sun in a protected position. Can handle quite a lot of shade but produces more flowers in full sun.
Shipping info:
Plants will only be sent out on Mondays (All locations) and Tuesdays (QLD/ Northern NSW only) to minimize the risk of being stuck in transit over the weekend.
Please be aware of your local laws/restrictions on the import of botanical products.
Happy gardening 🙂
