Dark foliage is the attraction of this annual flower. Blooms are double, serveral blooms per plant.

We grew this from seed - did not buy as tubers - easy from seed. We grow it in full sun.

This annual is sold as an alternative to D. 'Redskin' (whose photo is also listed in our website). I prefer D. 'Redskin' - its foliage had more purple colouring and less green.   Also D. 'Redskin' grows a little shorter, which I prefer as well.

Height up to 24", spread of 10" to 12".

Glen's score:  7.
