(Bromeliad)

  • Unusual addition for rockeries and containers
  • Metallic blue flowers

Eccremocarpus scaber 'Chilean Sunset'

(Chilean Glory Flower)

This Chilean glory flower is an exotic looking climber with wonderful, fiery orange, tubular flowers that look like blown glass lamps.

In mild areas Eccremocarpus scaber 'Chilean Sunset' will die down in winter and, given a little protection, will re-appear stronger the next year. In cold areas it is best grown outdoors as an annual, or planted in containers that can be moved to a frost free position during winter months. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 1m (3'). Supplied in 5cm pots. More info
