Extravagant, 6 to 7-inch velvet red flowers are sure to bring an exotic touch to any garden. Even darker red toward the center, each bloom has a deep yellow anther, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. This prolific bloomer has glossy, dark green, broadly heart-shaped leaves on a vigorous, rounded form. Excellent landscape or patio container specimen.
