When they first appear, the petal-like sepals are white, but they soon start to change colour, first to pink and then a deeper shade of rich raspberry red. These flower heads appear in profusion on strong stems and can grow up to 35cm in length. The flower colour may vary slightly depending on the  exposure and soil type, but the overall effect is quite dramatic when the plant is in full bloom. Supplied in a large 3 litre pot. Ht 1.2m
