The narrow deep green foliage is topped with daisy-like pure deep red flowers with the first flush flush but has golden tips in later flushes and blooms all summer. Prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Drought, humidity, and road salt tolerance. The Uptick series has an extended bloom and excellent disease resistance.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Can be an aggressive self-seeder- deadhead in spring to encourage extended bloom and prevent spreading. Crown rot may occur in moist, poorly-drained soils. Foliage decline may occur in hot summers if the soil is allowed to dry out. Snails and slugs can be a problem.
