Deep red to almost burgundy, these large, bell-shaped flowers are loaded with golden stamens for pizzazz. Downy stems are a fun treat as are the fluffy seed heads. 1 x 1 ft.Minimum temperature: -20?F

Nice rich red form of the Pasque Flower. This makes over time a full mound of finely dissected foliage with a bunch of flower stems bearing the large cheery red flowers. Sun and some decent drainage and you're good to go.
