Becoming very popular across the hot southern states with its large clusters of brilliant orange blooms and glossy green leaves, this plant almost looks artificial. Orange Marmalade is one of the most impressive Crossandras bred to date. Its huge bright flowers keep coming on because the plant is sterile. Any time a plant doesn’t produce seeds, it puts its energy into producing more flowers. This is an ideal plant for beds or containers as it doesn’t grow very tall and because of its continuous blooms.
