Clusters of lovely orange/salmon tubular flowers. Noted for its beautiful and distinctive foliage, covered with soft silvery white hairs. Grow indoors.

Grow this plant as caudiciform with the tuber slightly exposed. Water only sparingly when dormant.
Fuzzy silvery leaves emerge in spring, topped by lots of pretty orange red flowers.
