Nursery contributed plant descriptions

It produces burgundy red 5 inch flowers with a velvety texture and darker magenta bar down the center of the sepals. Nicely contrasting yellow anthers, too. This is a free flowering selection from America. Try this one on a lamppost or mailbox. Arthur Steffan, New York.
