At peak the plant is a fiery column of deep red blades with a light reddish haze on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Flame loves full sun like lavender, and its deep red blades give a strong color contrast behind lavender's silvery foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in almost any soil, from sand to clay; it is drought tolerant once established but also handles wetter spots.
