Flower spike is borne at the top of the stem and can be from 2 to 11 inches long by 4 inches wide and is orange.

They are about 2 inches long by 2 inches wide. Will grow in the sun if kept moist. Another good one for that low growth habit. The unique characteristic of this one is the dark green leaves with a strong burgundy color on the back. Makes this a really showy plant.
