Description

Delicate olive-green stems lift brick-red buds and waxed, dusky coral-red florets, which become more pendulous with age, flaring out to reveal creamy yellow tips. Shaded in such rich colors, the slender, somewhat open cone-shaped blooms contrast against low growing, narrow green leaves. Blooms July–August. Size: 2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 6.
