This variety has flattened ruby-red flower heads and gorgeous, dark green foliage. It has a long flowering period, starting in the early summer.  A favourite with beneficial insects, this will have the bees and hoverflies dancing with glee!

Best grown in full sun. Cut back after the first flowering has finished, encouraging a second flush in late summer and into the autumn.  It lasts well in a vase and makes a wonderful addition to a dried flower arrangement.
