Vision in Red' is a compact, free-flowering cultivar with a bronze-green mound of foliage to about nine inches tall topped with thick panicles of flowers in a very unique dark raspberry red on 16-24 inch red stems in late spring to early summer. Gorgeous with light pinks and whites and small enough for the front of a shady border.
