The lime green sticky leaves of this monkey are topped with tomato red to scaret blooms all summer. Grow in full sun to part shade in constant moisture. A great choice in cracks and crevice in a waterfall or along the stream bed. May naturalize where happy. Sometimes will shock when transplanted only to recover months later with vigorous new growth. Can grow up to 24'' by 24''. Do not grow with the crown submersed. Zone 5
