They have flat, broadly lance-shaped leaves, and bear terminal racemes of small, trumpet- to funnel-shaped flowers in late spring and early summer. The flowers are followed in autumn by brown capsules containing bright red seeds. In frost-prone climates, they are effective grown in containers in a cool or cold greenhouse. In frost-free regions, they are suitable for a sunny border or terrace.
