his eye-catching perennial forms dense clumps of strap-like green foliage from which tall, upright flower spikes emerge. From summer into autumn, the blooms open in a vibrant gradient of red to yellow, creating a dramatic, torch-like effect that draws the eye and enlivens garden spaces.

Ideal for sunny borders, wildlife gardens, and naturalistic plantings, it provides strong architectural structure while attracting nectar-feeding birds and pollinators. The vertical form contrasts beautifully with softer, mounding perennials or grasses, adding movement and focal interest.

Thriving in full sun, it prefers well-drained soil and benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods. Once established, it is hardy, low-maintenance, and drought-tolerant. Cutting back spent flower spikes encourages fresh growth and maintains a tidy appearance.

A perfect choice for gardeners seeking bold colour, height, and summer-to-autumn vibrancy, this perennial delivers show-stopping presence, reliability, and ecological value with minimal care, making it a standout addition to sunny garden landscapes.
