About this plant

This variety is part of the semi-cactus group, which is known for its fully double blooms with pointed petals that curve outward, giving the flower a spiky, starburst-like appearance. The impressive 11-inch flowers are paired with a plant that grows to 3-4 feet, making it ideal for adding height and texture to garden beds or for use in large, showy floral arrangements. Its bold red tones and distinctive form make it a standout in any garden setting or display.
