Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unique saw tooth petals in fiery shades of gold, orange and red, many marked with deeper hues, are exciting foundlings, for they once were featured in color lithography in the 1890s, near impossible to find since. We are overjoyed to offer them once again. Prolific and free flowering, the blooms are produced in abundance. Let its bushy stems spill from hanging baskets and window boxes or create a carpet of color in beds and borders.
