From memory about two to three weeks, depending on how hot and sunny the weather is (it comes from South Africa so prefers full sun and well-drained soil)

Very, very unusual - and very, very nice! I love glads and have a few, but nothing like this.

Yes, David, I know it is not the specie plant. I have seen it growing in the wild in South Africa and they are not this colour
