Redcrest - Cosmo
This variety reaches a height of 80 cm and produces upright stems with cut, bushy foliage. They bear an abundance of flowers, sometimes double, with orange petals hemmed in red.
This species is very popular with birds. The flowers can be left to dry in autumn, so they can feed on the seeds.
