Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An amazing cultivar with an abundance of flowers in the main bloom season and a reliable re-bloom throughout the summer. The large flowers are made up mostly by long yellow spurs, highlighted by small cherry-red outer sepals (wings). The evergreen leaves are heavily mottled in maroon-purple and make a clump of about 15" high and 18" width. The arching flower stems reach about 24" in length. Good drought tolerance once established.
