Glossy, rich green foliage, which is retained throughout the year, acts as the perfect foil for the vibrantly coloured, slightly ruffled flowers, which form in loose trusses in late spring. A great option for a larger pot, it can be used to add a bright shot of colour to a partially shaded patio - or border.
