Deep burgundy-red velvety petals surround a yellow center on blooms that begin in early summer and continue to fall. Cold hardiness and the red flower color are due to the C. rosea parentage. In cool temperatures, flowers may be streaked with creamy white for added appeal. Grows to 15-18” and will spread up to 3’. Plant 24” apart.
