Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another African species, this an upright perennial with warm, pink flowers towards the top of rather exotic, 3 ft stems in mid and late season. From Derick Pitman, aka Mr. Impatiens, who described the flowers as looking like an octopus, a pink one at that. And who doesn't need a pink octopus? For morning light to dappled shade in a cool greenhouse, or mulch outdoors in USDA zone 8.
