This award-winning cultivar is sought after for its compact habit and striking red flowerspikes, which appear in profusion above the arching mound of fresh green foliage. It's a stunning plant for a larger pot, and it will also add a bright splash of colour to a mixed or herbaceous border, where it will team up well with other late flowering perennials such as Heleniums, Rudbeckias and Crocosmias.
