Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A glorious deep red flowered stricta thats hard to take your eyes off of. The red is contrasted with a thin green stripe along the edge. Its a small plant typically 4-5 feet tall that blooms heavily from early fall to early spring. It makes a great container display, due to its size, and since it prefers partial shade performs well indoors for the winter. Definitely worth a try.
