“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 yellow colour of the flowers shows off beautifully against the dark green foliage. The rather large, rarely branched, 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.
