AGM Impressive tropical looking stems clad with braod leaves and topped with large spikes of glowing orange from in August-September to 1.5-1.8m. Good soil in part shade.

Usually one of the earliest to flower here and hardy with a mulch in most gardens.

The best place to plant will depend very much on where you are in the country. I'd say; east and south it needs some shade, west and north it needs mostly sun!
