Red Fire Spike Beginning to Bloom August 29, 2016

I have pink fire spike and red fire spike in my gardens.  They are shade plants.  Fall bloomers that will die back in the winter and come up from the roots.  A good, vivid color for the shade garden which makes it a great plant to have.  This is an early bloom.  In another few weeks they will be covered with flowers.  Very pretty.  This fire spike is planted in a bed with Illustris Colocasia and evergreen woodland violets.
