This short-lived evergreen has smooth-surfaced, lance-shaped, mid-green leaves. Masses of tubular, bright scarlet flowers, 1in (25mm) long, appear from late spring to early winter.

Height: 12–15in (30–38cm), sometimes slightly more

Spread: 12–15in (30–38cm), sometimes slightly more

Winter: 45–50°F (7–10°C). Full sun, or direct light without full sun

Summer: 50–64°F (10–18°C). Indirect light

Care: In winter, keep compost barely moist; in summer, water freely and feed every 2–3 weeks. Repot established plants in spring when roots fill the pot, usually every 2–3 years.

Propagation: Take 2–3in (5–7.5cm) stem-tip cuttings in late spring and insert in equal parts moist peat and sharp sand. Place in 61–64°F (16–18°C). Alternatively, sow seeds in late winter or spring, in 61°F (16°C).
