This Mexican species is quite similar to Z. grandiflora, except that the flower is slightly smaller (only 2-3", compared to 3-4" for Z. grandiflora, and the stigma is shorter than the anthers). The short, flat green foliage is hardly noticed until summer, when the clumps burst forth with 10" tall stems topped with wide, open, rich rosy flowers. A mass of the easy-to-grow Z. macrosiphon is an absolute stunner in the garden. Be sure to keep it moist...even boggy conditions work great! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
