There are some heucheras with small green leaves and 6 to 8 inch spikes of vivid red flowers flamethrower is one of the modern cultivars but the ones i know are older.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
try looking at "Cortusa matthioli " or " Delphinium nudeicaule" both these plants are small (8") high with upright erect stems. They are both rockery plants - the flowers are very similar to your pictures. hope this helps
...I have to dispute Cortusa matthioli as the flowers on this are pinkish, more rounded bell shaped as opposed to elongated tubes in this case... also Delphinium nudicaule, whilst the flowers are a similar colour, on the Delphinium there is a 'spur' on the flower which is also hooked... I see nothing like that on these..... interesting though those plants are...

that's 8 inches max in old thinking. Phygelius don't come that small.
I'll have a look round

they don't look like heuchera flowers as I know them but new types may have been bred. Or heuchera leaves.

Yes, definitely not the delph. The leaves of this plant have someting in common with the cortusa though. Not convinced
