A semi-dwarf widely used as a cut-flower owing to its incredibly even-sized flower heads. It's a brilliant vivid-red, seldom surpassed for its generous garden display. Dark green glossy foliage adds the finishing touches to a supreme plant. A compact variety ideal for use in containers on decks or patios.
Feature:
Brilliant vivid red flowers, compact habit.
Uses:
Patios, gardens, borders and under-plantings. Great for picking - it can be used both fresh and for drying; use in floral art.
Position:
Shaded and well-drained. Will handle summer dry spells, though flowers can be damaged if too dry for too long.
Care:
Prune to about half size in autumn after leaf drop, and mulch to conserve moisture over summer. Red colouration is encouraged with an autumn application of lime.
