Award of Garden Merit (Award of Garden Merit, Royal Horticultural Society).
A strange and beautiful plant!
An unusual plant with an unusual trunk and a striking red flower. Prefers positions with direct sun exposure and in mild climates can be kept outdoors all year round. In colder climates it can be comfortably adapted indoors.
Easy to maintain and drought resistant as it stores water in its roots and at the base of its trunk. Its flowers show off exotic beauty, are striking and large (up to 5cm) and last all Summer. In Winter it may lose its leaves if temperatures are low, a purely transient phenomenon.
It is often used to form a bonsai plant because of its peculiar trunk.
