Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Aptly named, Ruby Star blooms in a deep shade of ruby red accented with lighter stripes along the petal centers and most pronounced on the bottom. To add a jaunty little flair, the top petal often grows with a tiny, endearing curl on the end. This cultivar was developed about 10 years ago and has been gathering devotees ever since. Grow it once, you'll see why. Large blooms, medium stem length.
