Autumn-winter flowering
From Early Autumn TO Mid Winter
Flowering is in autumn, or in winter in cooler areas; the inflorescences are flower spikes 7–22 cm high and 5 cm broad.
Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
The plant is fairly easy to grow in a mediterranean climate with good drainage and a light (sandy) soil. In cooler regions, it will not tolerate temperatures that regularly fall below -5C thus consider planting it in a large container which can be over-wintered under protection.
