This heirloom variety will make a beautiful statement in your garden or as a wonderful container plant. With lovely light green, thick foliage, this plant becomes loaded with deep red pendant plumes by mid-summer and blooms right to frost. The long red trusses give the plants an ornamental and graceful appearance. These are great for drying and also make impressive cut flowers. In rich well drained soil, this annual will grow to about 1.5m high with a spread of about 60cm and flower clusters up to 60cm long, so give them lots of space.
