The interesting flowers of this popular tropical shrub are often considered a nature's work of art. Unique exotic orange blooms are often described as a bird in flight, as a colorful crane's head, or even as a sunbird drinking water. The slow-growing plant forms a clumping habit with thick gray-green leaves upon graceful upright stems. Best with partial sun to partial shade, consistently moist soil, and high humidity. Grows to be about 4 ft. tall at maturity, extending to 5 ft. when in bloom, with a 3 ft. W spread. An outstanding tropical accent is usually used as a dramatic focal point, where it can show off its unusual form and beauty. A fine choice for the garden and outdoor patio pots, where it is often used as the "thriller" in a thriller-spiller-filler container planting. To accommodate the mature size or when planting in groups, space 3 ft. away from other plants or structures. Thrives in fertile well-drained soil and a partially sunny site, to grow indoors, place the plant out of direct sun near a warm bright window with western or southern exposure and provide as much natural light as possible.
It came secured, thought the dirt would be scattered everywhere but it wasn’t. Neither was the plant bent or broken, so in other words my wife loved it!. Hakeem. Lake Worth, FL. Tue, 15 Nov 2022
