In 2005, I took a trip to Patagonia, where I saw Chilean Firebush plants all over the place. Since then I have vaguely looked around for a plant for home, but never really pursued it.
Last summer, however, I ordered some seeds on a whim, put them in the shed and promptly forgot about them. But a couple of weeks ago, while sowing some chilli seeds in a propagator I found the packet and threw in a few of these just to see what would happen.
