- Standard £5.95
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
- Position: Full sun or partial shade
- Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: Fast
- Flowering period: February to April
- Hardiness: Fully hardy
Clusters of deep-red, velvety, double flowers, held above a basal rosette of roughly textured bright green leaves, open your heart to ‘Valentine Red’ - a perfect gift to a loved one. Alternatively, this long-flowering semi-evergreen perennial could adorn a pot, container or border edge for some early season sparkle!
Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established. Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.
