This ruby red flowering variety has a challenging flower colour in terms of finding successful combinations with other plants. But it does produce masses of spectacular summer blossom.

Plant in a sheltered sunny spot towards the front of the border where they can grow without being smothered by taller plants. Propagate by dividing established plants in autumn or spring.
