Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A group of perennials grown for their colorful flowers, requiring rich, well-drained soil in full sun with regular to moderate water. Growing 2-5' tall with leafy stems, the plants spread slowly by clustered tubers or creeping rhizomes. The flowers are azalea-like in shades of orange, yellow, pink, rose, red, lilac, cream to white, and often streaked or speckled with darker colors. Provide some shade in warmer climates to avoid bleaching of the flowers. The blooms have a long flowering season (May to mid-summer) and make exceptional cut flowers. The thick, fleshy roots are brittle and should be handled with care. Hardy to 15F. South America.
