Vase Shaped open foliage is coarse with spiny leaf margins. Slow growth rate height 2' to 4' and spread of 2' to 4'. Perennial in USDA hardiness zone 10B. Plant in full bright sun, they reward you with the brilliant orange and eventually a vibrant raspberry-orange color. The branched flower spike rises tall above the large bromeliad and is fire red. The color is so bold that it can be seen from down the street and creates spectacular curb appeal. For maximum wow factor in the landscape combine with raspberry or hot pink flowered plants. The long-lasting bracts are most noticeable. They can be used as cut flowers indoors for a period of weeks. Makes a great specimen plant or hedge.
