Originating from Eastern Nepal, this variety is one of the hardiest and most reliable. Producing exotic lance shaped foliage with tinted red undersides of stems that can reach 1.3m. In summer fairly fragrant white flowers with orange markings form, with attractive bright red seeds clinging to orange seed capsules afterwards. Plant likes full sun to partial shade in moist well drained soil, within a sheltered location.
