Strappy leaves with flower stalks that have flowers coming out in succession day by day.

Strappy leaves with flower stalks that have flowers coming out in succession day by day.
Not fussy about soil, drought tolerant.
They will be dug bare-rooted which is how I first bought them decades ago from a specialist grower.
They can be planted straight away.
The last two photos are smaller daintier flowers. The others are large bold flowers. The first red one has a lovely fragrance. Havent checked the others for fragrance.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
$6.50 for two barerooted plants.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
