Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Medium-sized flowers in deep, bright orange with brown dashes. Blooms heavily in early summer, usually once, thus makes it more of a collectors plant. Same outstanding cut flower as the hybrids. For well drained, fertile soil. Mulching, especially the first winter, makes them fairly hardy to at least zone 8.
