Famous old variety from Hawaii, with broad burnt orange leaves that illuminate the garden. The amazing colour of the foliage lifts the green foliage around it and creates a focal point.
Dappled light or full sun in the mornings.
Dimensions: best kept to a plant 1.2m or taller if a background species where other foliage hides a bare trunk.
Foliage: startling burnt orange which takes on a pinkish tinge during the cooler months. The foliage is the main feature of the plant and keeping the ground moist during the hotter months will ensure the marvellous colour.
Uses: principally as a feature colour in the garden, as the surrounding green enhances the already startling burnt orange. Nestled amongst the shrubbery it is an excellent draw card that will lure you to look closer.
