Very large, upright trusses are tightly packed with glossy red flowers that fade to near white in the throat. The open faced flowers show off the white stamens and are set against dark, forest green leaves.

Tempestuous glossy red flowers.

By: Thompson's Nursery

This is a Lem hybrid. Need I say more? It has very large, glossy, red flowers that are flat, allowing for exuded stamens that fade into a white throat. Interesting, slightly twisted foliage is deep forest-green in the shade. ('Burgundy' x 'Mars')
