Deep red with lush green foliage. Long flowering. Neat evergreen tufts of grass -like foliage with globular bright flowers on 8" stems. Plant 12" apart. Neat tufts of grasslike foliage with bright flower globes on wiry stems. Flowers in the late spring, excellent for the front of a border. Does well and is colorful almost anywhere. Consistently evergreen in southern gardens; semi-evergreen in the north.
