R. repens hybrid that will get 12”x18” in time. Deep ruby red bells in April

An interesting good plant for foliage, and deeper red flowers than most hybrids from degronianum ssp. yakushimanum. The foliage is deep green which is small and round with light indumentum which is a delightful white on new growth. A good dwarf plant for the small garden, or where you want something low in a large garden.
