    Big, vigorous and bold, ‘Red Admiral’ can hit three feet high and sports some of the brightest and “reddest” flowers among the geraniums -- really, the flowers are vivid magenta with black centres and thin black veining. A cross of G. psilostemon and G. sylvaticum 'Baker‘s Pink', ‘Red Admiral’ will bloom over an extended period from June through September.
