    Huge 7 inch clusters hold fringed 3/4 inch blooms in vivid shades of cherry-rose and magenta on strong stems. Dark green, glossy foliage sets off the vibrant blooms on this strong-stemmed, heat-tolerant series. Amazon does triple duty as a landscape/bedding plant, home garden cut flower. A reliable grower, this long blooming perennial grows 18-24 inches tall in full sun and well drained soil. Ideal for cut flowers, Amazon Neon will last up to 2 weeks in a vase. Excellent late season performer.
