On sunny days blooms exhibit a gamut of modulated red, from deep shades in the shadows to fiery red highlights and the sparkle of sunlight from the petal’s gloss. From afar, the colour has great carrying power and always attracts attention. A strong grower and reliable bloomer; performance improves with age and stem increase.
