They are easy to increase by division. Just lift it gently and remove some corms and replant elsewhere. In fact they can become invasive in suitable climates. There are other colours but all in the red/yellow/orange area.

Yeah, I tried googling that already because i figured it was a longhorn due to its long antennae. I tried "red and black" as well as "red and black striped." I didn't find anything congruent with what I've found so that's why I came here to request help :-/. I've found red and black ones. I've found striped ones. But not red-and-black-striped-antennae ones. And ideas anyone? Also, in general, are longhorns typically good, neutral, or bad in a garden? This one has been in relatively the same spot on my dwarf orange tree for half a week now. This post was edited by Willpower_ on Thu, Jul 11, 13 at 23:09

Someone is trying to grow in the same garden two plants with opposite cultural requirements. It simply can't work. Either Sedum, sorry Hylotelephium, or Ligularia has to suffer. Looks like this time it is Hylotelephium.The insects, whatever they are, are only the symptom not the cause of the problem. My advice is: move the Hylotelephium to another, sunny and DRY location with a sandy soil, it will recover by itself. Or, if it is not possible, just get rid of it.

I've been given an ID of yellow desert bird of paradise. Oddly, someone said a different plant was bird of paradise, so I'll have to figure out that once when it gets bigger.
