Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Red flowers, 12 to 15 inches.
Same deal as 'Golden Starlit' but, unsurprisingly, red instead of yellow! I'd call it more crimson than scarlet, but then you wouldn't have the aliteration in the name, I suppose. In anycase, a rich, glowing shade of red that will look good with almost everything. Zone - Joseph
