They have alternate, pinnate, mid- to dark green leaves and showy flowers resembling lobsters’ claws. In frost-prone climates, C. formosus is excellent for a hanging basket in a temperate greenhouse or conservatory; in warmer areas, grow in a raised bed or terrace planting. C. puniceus is suitable for training against a wall; in frost-prone areas, it needs the protection of a cool greenhouse or conservatory.
