Features

Characteristics

Plant Needs

Bring lasting color and pollinator appeal to your garden with this fiery red annual. Its vibrant blooms, accented by a soft orange-yellow eye, are a magnet for bees while adding a dense splash of color to landscapes and patio containers. With its mounded habit and rich dark bronze-green foliage, it performs beautifully at the front of beds, as edging, or in mixed container recipes with other heat lovers like Luscious® lantana and Superbena® verbena.

This variety is self-cleaning, producing flowers that drop cleanly without deadheading. Since it sets little seed, the plant keeps flowering persistently from planting until frost. Thriving in full sun, it is both heat tolerant and easy to grow, requiring only average water and occasional feeding to stay in peak form.

Perfect for borders, mass plantings, hanging baskets, and planters, this annual delivers nonstop garden impact with very little effort — an excellent choice for gardeners seeking high performance and vibrant color.
