Spartacus

Grown & photographed by GCDA member, Amy Phipps. Amy says, "I don't grow many reds and this one produced many tubers to share." This bold, handsome gem produces an abundance of huge 9-12" deep luxurious velvet-red blooms all season long. Introduced 1993. The eye-catching large blooms have won countless awards and are great for exhibitors and garden enthusiasts alike. They are unappetizing to deer and last beautifully in bouquets.
