This plant has very attractive waxy bell shaped crimson scarlet flowers during February and March. It has neat dark glossy foliage with a lovely silvery grey indumentum on the undersides of the leaves. It forms a compact plant growing as wide as it does tall. It does need some frost protection in the winter but we think it's worth the extra effort! Height 140-160cm in 10 years.
