Heirloom. A true magician that lives up to its name, this beauty offers a full season of color.
Large, 4-5" blooms burst open a bright red, and as new ones appear everyday, the older ones change to a rosy-red then a softer still rose.
Each truly 'exquisite', they will offer you an armful of cut flowers all season long.
Ht: 36.
