This stunning foliage plant will add a shot of colour, as well as structure and form, to a patio or planting scheme. The long, strap-shaped leaves are a deep bronze-red, and they form in a gently splayed cluster. Ideal for gravel, contemporary or Mediterranean-style gardens, 'Red Shadow' has a relatively compact habit, so will happily thrive in a large pot. - Garden care: Provide protection during cold winters and divide plants, if necessary, in April to May. Avoid overhead watering if possible.
