Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The ONLY red flowering species! Extremely rare plant!!! Soft, floppy leaves with white margins. Drought tolerant but needs part shade. Don't let it hang out dry for too long. I have never seen this plant offered anywhere before. Madagascar native! Thought to be extinct in the wild.
