Sinningia 'Scarlet O'Hara'

This 2008 PDN introduction first arrived in 2001 as seed from a John Farina cross of Sinningia 'Apricot Bouquet' x self...that's legal with sinningias. In 2007, we selected this special offspring for introduction while the rest were selected for the compost pile. Sinningia 'Scarlet O'Hara' makes a 2' wide clump of dark purple stems adorned with felty, thick, dark green leaves. The 3' tall flowering stalks start expanding upward in late May (NC), and are adorned until frost with a continuous display of dangling scarlet red (RHS 53B) tubular flowers. Our plants are thriving on a full sun gravel-based scree...simply dazzling.
