A very decorative flower which, with both its attractive green or brown vegetation and unique flowers in amazing colors of red, light red and yellow-colored, gives any edge a flavor of the tropics. Also excellent when expanded in large containers in the green house. The fleshy rhizomes can be started off in containers in the house in springtime, ready for growing out in early summer time. Raise the rhizomes in delayed fall and overwinter in a frost-proof place.
