The flower is borne down in the foliage, but readily visible and is about 12 inches off the ground. The top bracts of the flower spike are maroon and the tips of the side bracts are maroon. Leaves are dark green with a burgundy midrib. The flower spike appears in late March to April in South Georgia and appears just before the foliage. The flower spike will grow about a foot tall.
Individual flowers are white turning yellow.
The top bracts are the most showy part of the flower spike and are bright red. This plant has a overall height of about 2 feet with small leaves that are about two inches wide. The flowers are unusual and are yellow with tips that resemble a lady dressed for dancing. They dangle from the branch tips during most of the summer and early fall. Probably one of the most sun tolerant Globbas.
