Well, thank you for the recommendation! It is such a unique color…hard to describe, but easily the brightest, most eye-catching red in my garden. I certain light conditions, I notice that the under-petals, shaded from the sun, turn a bright pink, and leave a very distinct “shadow” as the bloom opens. See pic.
Alas, I believe it is infertile as a mother, but I do have a couple of fat hips from trials I ran on the pollen this past spring. HMF lists no descendants, so we shall see…
