Flowers
are borne in terminal cymes with orange-red
tinged bracts. The bracts create the noticeable “flower" color.
Even after the bracts fade, the mounded
herbaceous shrub still graces the garden.
Early
summer.
The alternate leaves are sessile, lanceolate,
with a pinkish to reddish midrib, 3-4 inches long. Fall
color can be yellow to red.
