Their fiery hot colour combinations of yellow, orange and red will erupt throughout your beds and borders, adding great height and impact too. Each pack of 5 is a mix of colours, and also a mix of the green-leaves and lovely purple-leaved types, selected from taller flowering cultivars, so all will flower at 1m or more.

They will over-winter if they do not get too wet, and will benefit from a mulch - or the tubers can be dug up and stored in a cool, frost-free place over the winter for use again next year.
