Rarely seen in gardens, Colquhounia coccinea 'Nepalese Flame' is a captivating shrub offering a dazzling burst of exotic flowers late in the season when most displays are beginning to fade.

Introduced from the Himalayas in 1980, ‘Nepalese Flame’ is the most vivid coloured clone available. From late summer to autumn, tall spikes of rich vermillion, trumpet-shaped flowers with gold throats create a fiery display against its downy, semi-evergreen foliage. The flowers erupt along terminal racemes, each one up to 2.5cm long and resembling giant salvia blooms. Plants flower over a long period from August onwards and will even keep blooming until November in mild seasons. Its exotic appearance belies its resilience to cooler conditions, with plants hardy in most parts of the UK given shelter from cold winds and freely draining soil.

Colquhounia coccinea 'Nepalese Flame' makes a superb exotic specimen for borders, courtyards, sheltered gardens and coastal areas, adding drama during the closing months of the year. Ultimate height and spread: 1.5m (4.9ft) to 2.5m (8.2ft).

Growing Information

Grow in full sun in poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil with protection from cold, dry winds. A sheltered spot such as against a south or west wall is ideal. While the top growth may be harmed by hard frost, it typically re-sprouts from the base. Apply a deep, dry mulch in winter. Prune lightly in the spring.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
