A small garden-sized version of this gorgeous foliage plant with “dragon fire” leaves. Northern California plantsman, Lichen, describes this gem as having a “darkly elegant” look. Showy black-stemmed scepters of fringed yellow blooms are in perfect scale to the plant. Captivating in a group or as a small accent in a container. Looks exotic and tropical; yet is undemanding. Thrives in a moist location.
