This has proven a hard plant to find and difficult to keep alive.\u00a0 It is one of the four “little reds” introduced from crosses between officinalis and peregrina, the others being ‘Ladybird’, ‘Little Dorrit’, and ‘Scarlet Tanager’.\u00a0 (I can find no evidence of ‘Ladybird’ still being grown.) These are sought after by collectors and hybridizers because they are fertile.\u00a0 Don Hollingsworth and others used this plant extensively in his breeding program. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first plant I bought under this name proved to be the very different and much more vigorous ‘Patriot’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Thanks to fellow APS Directors Cory Tischman and Craig Aiken for their photos.<\/span><\/p>\n
