A dazzling display of large 10.0cm to 17.0cm, deep plum-red flowers with a contrasting central tuft of butter-yellow anthers. Blooming in two waves from late-spring to early-autumn it provides an extended period of interest in the garden. The compact height of around 2.4m makes it ideal for large containers or smaller gardens.

Raised by Arthur H Steffan of the USA and introduced around 1990.
