Introduced by Plant Delights Nursery, from seed provided by John Farina, this tuberous perennial has thick leaves and is an excellent candidate for a rock garden. Pale-yellow pendulous flowers dangle from stems of caramel-brown, forming the contrast that gives this delicious variety its name, just like Bananas Foster, yum! Blooms late-spring to fall.
