COMMENTS: A cheerful plant of bright orange single flowers that flowers reliably and will return in the fall if deadheaded. Geranium-type leaves form heavy mounds of bright green foliage close to the ground and surround erect, leafy stems with sprays of showy, nodding, 1/2 inch flowers. The flowers are followed by puffy seed heads. Well-behaved and long blooming. Provide a rich, moist and well-drained soil. Protect with a light mulch in severe winter areas.
