  1. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/10/2018

    Blooms quickly the first year from seed. The large red flowers with the white throats really stand out in the garden.
    We had a little problem with the large flower stems falling over in areas next to a building, but the plants grouped in open area of the garden are standing well. Expecting this plant to be even better next year. Zone 6a
