A highly ornamental plant which, with both its handsome green or bronze foliage and exotic blooms in brilliant shades of red, pink and yellow, gives any border a taste of the tropics. Also excellent when grown in large pots in the greenhouse. The fleshy rhizomes can be started off in pots indoors in spring, ready for planting out in early summer. Lift the rhizomes in late autumn and overwinter in a frost-proof place.
