A true garden classic, loved by American gardeners for well over a century, with its large, crimson double blooms that provide stunning seasonal color. In spring, lush green foliage emerges and remains attractive throughout summer and fall. This prolific, mid- to late season bloomer is lovely massed in borders. An herbaceous perennial.
