Gardeners Comments<\/strong>
\nFascicularia bicolor is native to Chile as is the longer leaved Fascicularia pitcairnifolia.
\nFascicularia bicolor has long thin leaves to about 24″ and when mature turns a brilliant red.
\nThe blooms are formed by large tight clusters of blue flowers in the center.
\nDo not give too much fertiliser if you want them to flower. They may flower better when pot bound.
\nIt offsets to form large clusters.<\/p>\n
