Botanic information
Leaf: The light green leaves are long lanceolate and clasp the stem at the base. The upper surface is prominently veined and have a obvious mid rib and the apex is acuminate.

Flower: The red to yellow funnelform flowers have a limp appearance with 3-petals and 3-sepals and are arranged in a narrow terminal panicle that appears above the foliage from spring to summer.

Fruit: The capsule produces black globular hard-coated seeds that are distributed by birds and gravity. The seed has a long viability period but germinates quickly once the seed coat has broken down. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
