Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Introduced in 1869 and described in an 1892 catalog thusly, 'Broad golden yellow margin with central disc of green, dwarf and free; one of the best.' We agree, for its clean bright foliage and sparkling scarlet single flowers light up the garden and pots like few other plants.
This fancy has fan shaped foliage with dark blotched zoning...bright red single flowers shimmer over the lime green foliage
Mostly yellow leaves with a splash of green. Orange red flowers.
