It grows 6–12 inches tall, produces orange-red bell-shaped flowers in spring, and thrives in bright light and well-draining soil.

- Watering: Requires low water; drought-tolerant. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Temperature & Hardiness: Prefers warm temperatures (
- Toxicity: Contains cardiac glycosides, making it toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
