Wow, this one is amazing!!! What a range of color, from yellow, to shades of orange, to shades of hot pink to red, all from one plant. Compact and continuous blooms, easy to grow and pollinators love it!!! You have to try this one, it doesn’t disappoint.

I love this plant. It is nice and compact and continues to flower all summer. The color varies in shades of orange to red. It comes back each year bigger and better. You must give this one a try.
