Height 90 cm., bloom diameter 20-22.5 cm., 6 petals plus petalloids. Diploid. This heavily ruffled, deep, dramatic red may be the final statement in the search for an elegant, sunfast and weather resistant red. It has remained erect even during our hottest and driest summer season. $45.00. Paolucci/Conningham. |
