LIPSTICK PALM (Cyrtostachys renda) -


A medium sized clumping pinnate palm to about 6m tall. A spectacularly beautiful plant, with almost unbelievably vivid red crownshaft, and petioles. Native to lowland coastal swamps throughout south-east Asia. In the tropics or in a greenhouse its an easy plant to grow, provided it gets lots of water, and lots of sun.
