Kingsblood

Rich and velvety, Kingsblood opens a deep crimson that sits right on the edge of burgundy. A satiny sheen keeps the colour glowing rather than heavy, and each petal carries a slightly redder edge. The small decorative blooms are neat and symmetrical, with tightly stacked, rounded petals.

Long, straight stems make it an easy choice for cutting, and the plant has a compact, tidy habit in the border. Regular deadheading keeps flowers coming from midsummer until frost. Its dark red tones look striking beside lime foliage, soft pink, or other wine shades in a moody arrangement.
