A clump forming, herbaceous perennial that does well in sunny locations. Its vibrant red flowers give a lovely glow to a garden, and their sword shaped leaves have a grassy texture. They bloom in the mid summer and continue into the autumn. Leave the spent flowers so that they go to seed, leaving structural interest into the fall and winter. Cut back foliage when it is looking rough in the winter. Established plants can be divided in the spring. Pollinators like hummingbirds love to visit their flowers. They look great in containers, a perennial border or on a bank.
We acknowledge with great respect and humility the T'Sou-ke Nation of the Coast Salish peoples whose relationship with these lands, now known as Sooke, continue, unbroken, to this day.
