Cautleya spicata ‘Arun Flame’

A superb collection of this hardy ginger relative from E. Nepal which has the darkest red stems to about 1m tall. Orange flushed rich yellow flowers emerging from deep-red bracts are produced atop the stems July to Sept and the leaf undersides are tinged purple-red. Enjoying a sun or semi-shade position in good free draining soil that doesn't get too dry, though saying that, like Hedychium, these are amazingly drought tolerant once established.
