The flowers start vertically but then turn sideways, serving as perches for birds or butterflies, showcasing stunning red blooms with vibrant orange pollen. These remarkable clusters typically measure 7 to 15 inches in length. Resembling an Iris or Phormium when not in bloom.

The leaves also feature intriguing curved notches at their bases where they meet the adjacent leaves, making it a visually appealing plant, especially for its foliage.
