Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bright, shining, fire red flowers! It's vigorous, easy to grow, and flowers fairly late in the season, so it will extend the color in your garden. A rounded plant, it is covered with deep fir green leaves making it a special plant all year. Ooh, is it showy! ('Jean de Marie Montague' x 'Leo')
