Strawberry Wine
This was a “fine red” seedling of unknown parentage sent to Hollingsworth by Silvia Saunders. The plant seems to spread more as the clump matures (don’t we all?) and should probably be provided with support. The flower color is truly unique and bears a distinct resemblance to strawberry coloration. Aptly named!
