Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Narrow light green leaves with 3' stems carrying clusters of burnt orange buds that open to cheery five petaled, flat face flowers that are creamy orange inside, with dark burgundy centers and a red stained reverse. OH!! Blooms in late summer and are great for arrangements. Moderately fertile well drained soil, sun and moderate moisture will make this a happy plant!
