Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bright red. Patent No. 18552. This is a seedling from 'Knock Out' with slightly brighter red flowers although still single. Although 'Knock Out' is very healthy, 'Home Run' is even healthier and the continuity of flowering is excellent. It will make a wonderful plant for landscaping of for a pot. 4 ft. (Wekcisbako Carruth 2006).
