A very interesting plant with dark green strap-like leaves that bear the most unusual almost 'paintbrush-like' flowers. These often produce orange berries. Easy and reliable, not particularly difficult and a great talking point. Height 30cm (12'). Makes an amazing plant for conservatories and well lit window sills. Needs frost free site in a semi shaded site away from direct sunlight.
