The species is native to South Africa, but naturalized in Mexico, Belize, Bangladesh, Madeira Islands and Juan Fernández Islands off the coast of Chile. The plant grows to 2 m (6.6 ft) tall, with large, strong, evergreen leaves 25?70 cm (9.8?27.6 in) long and 10?30 cm (3.9?11.8 in) broad, produced on petioles up to 1 m (39 in) long and arranged in two ranks, making a fan-shaped crown. The very unique, spectacular flowers, which emerge one at a time and consist of three brilliant orange sepals and three purplish-blue or white petals, stand above the foliage at the tips of long stalks.
