A branching succulent that lifts candles of tubular orange flowers in the cool months, when little else is out.
Care. Plant in full sun with sharp drainage; wet cold is what kills it, not drought.
A note. Sunbirds and other nectar feeders work the winter spikes, which is why the flowers are tubular and bright.
