Red Aphelandra (Aphelandra tetragona)

Creating a show of stunning glory, the eye-riveting blooms of this upright grower arrive throughout the summer. Easy to grow and a native to South America and the West Indies, it has large plumes of rich orange-red blooms. Culturally, it will flower in full sun-to-shaded locations and its size can be maintained by a hard pruning once the blooming season has finished. A great variety where height and brilliant color is desired.
