gardens throughout Tasmania. It is sparingly naturalised on
or near the sites of old gardens. It is a large plant with
channelled leaves often about 50 cm long. The inflorescence is distinctive. It is
a large and conspicuous spike-like and is made of closely spaced
bright red tubular flowers. The spike occurs at the end of a long
stalk (typically ~ 1 m long). |
