'Gibson’s Scarlet'—its brilliant red blooms are a real charmers. Great with Coreopsis v. 'Zagreb'. Needs full sun and good drainage; rock-garden conditions ideal.

A delightful Himalayan herbaceous perennial; the original form has little growth itself but has given rise to a wide range of hybrids. They have gray-green, somehat strawberry like leaves, with the flowers borne in loose sprays of single and double flowers in heads up to 1 1/2 ft. wide from mid to late summer. Varieties to look for include "Firedance" {small, single, salmon orange flowers}.
"Gibson's Scarlet" {single, brilliant red},
and "William Rollinson" {semi-double, flame orange}. Propagate by division.
