6" Blooms of dark, purple-red have a darker eye zone above a green throat and ruffled, white hairline edges. Tetraploid. Early Mid-season. Rebloomer.
The foliage is arranged in fans of longitudinally folded leaves. Adaptable low maintenance plants, they are very resistant to drought and heat but can also tolerate wetter conditions, coastal sites, and clay soil. Attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Pull off dead or yellow leaves and remove spent bloom stalks to keep plants tidy and to encourage additional flowers from rebloomers. Remove all dead foliage in late fall. Divide every 3 years to maintain vigor.
Individual blooms last for a single day, but lots of buds keep them blooming for an extended period.
