About Drop Dead Red

This variety produces large, long-lasting blooms, typically 4 to 5 inches across, in a rich array of red hues, from deep burgundy to vibrant bicolors. Its tall, branching form is excellent for arrangements, offering pollenless flowers that still provide nectar for pollinators. Both the bittersweet petals and the young, artichoke-flavored buds are edible, making it a versatile choice for the garden. While drought tolerant, consistent watering promotes optimal flower production.
