Big, long-lasting, semi-cactus flowers top the upright stems for many months from midsummer, creating a dazzling dispaly well into the autumn. Each flower is a sumptuous blend of salmon pink and orange, which merges into yellow towards the centre. The petals are long and thin, and curl backwards on themselves, creating a wonderful spikey effect. Overall they look very impressive, especially when seen against the backdrop of the deep green foliage.
