Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Gorgeous extra hardy selection that Jim Waddick collected in China, incredible intense spidery red flowers produced in abundance in the late summer before the leaves emerge. Check out the Pacific Bulb Society website for some truly stunning images of literally millions of these forming solid sheets of red in a park in Japan. I want to recreate that now. Zone 5
