Appearance
It is a bushy evergreen shrub. The attractive and noticeable flowers appear in late winter or spring in long racemes, starting either at the end of stems or from the leaf axils. Flowers are orange and red, 10 to 12 mm in diameter. The heart shaped leaves are 3 to 5 cm long with somewhat wavy edges.It can be grown as a garden plant, and does well in other parts of the country. However, a summer with lower humidity is better suited for this plant. As it does not tolerate freezing, in cooler areas it requires the protection of glass. Propagation from seed is easily achieved, and cuttings strike well.
