Masses of orange to red flowers, September-November. Requires plenty of air during winter. Height is 3’ by 30”. It is a Cape Heath from South Africa. Therefore, only hardy to about 28 degrees F. We grow them successfully in the greenhouses here in Western Washington with no heat. In the odd very cold spell, we take them into a more protected facility. Removing spent flowers in winter prevents molding and then ensuing problems. It has been easy to grow for us. Needs an acid soil mix.
