"Dainty plant with dainty flowers" is a very apt description of this unique little cultivar. The pendulous bell-shaped flowers ...

and narrow dark green leaves with a reddish spiny edge all contribute to its suitability as a pot plant. The old ivory colour of the flowers shows off beautifully against the dark green foliage.The tall, single inflorescences carry masses of flowers from mid winter onward. The plant produces numbers of stem shoots as it matures - these are best removed for a better flowering display.
