After the first time seeing this little guy bloom, I had to go buy a couple more!! Carefree, beautiful, and nicely enlarging clumps...just a great plant I wish I saw in gardens more often!

An excellent red flowered cultivar which though seed grown will produce a good selection of red forms of various petal width and quality, the best being almost brick-red with long and broad petals (tepals).
Like all members of this genus, the plant is very long lived and makes good sized clumps.
