This horticultural variety of Lion’s Ear is a fast growing shrub, with bright orange red whorls of flowers in ‘steps’ along tall stems. Plants grow to an impressive 1.5m and add strong colour to the border later in the season, from August into late autumn. These plants differ from the wild Lion’s Ear, with rounder leaves and taller flower stalks.
These are great garden plants that can be grown as annuals from spring sowings or kept in pots in a greenhouse over winter and grown as perennials. They need little care and attention and provide excellent late summer colour.
Plants grow best in full sun to part shade and composted well-drained soils.
Pack of 20 seeds. Sow anytime, typically spring to autumn. Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.
