    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of our favorites (in the top 50!) for a couple of reasons. We like the visual heft of the foliage as it nicely broad and stout. We also like that it is not an aggressive spreader although it means we don't offer it often. Mostly we like the substantial and dense sprays of flame red open flowers.
