Exceptional substance in a rich red with glossy petals. Narrow, dark green leaves arise from burgundy stems. A great combination.

This is a really good dark red flowered plant. The flowers have exceptional substance and are rich and glossy. Dark wine-red stems with narrow, dark green foliage that is also of excellent substance. There is always room in any genus for a red this good. ('Wine Fuschia' x 'Kilamanjiro')
