Plant Type: Deciduous Shrubs

The most important characteristic of this plant is its ability to hold its flower color (red) as they age rather than taking on a purplish tint which often happens with other varieties. Tendency for a secondary bloom in late summer, particularly if spring bloom was sparse. Excellent hardiness. An upright shrub when young, developing an arching habit with maturity. Deep red, trumpet shaped flowers. Medium to dark green foliage. Prefers well-drained soil. Excellent for hedges, borders, and specimen.
