Deep red, velvety blooms bring instant drama to the garden, especially when paired with the plant’s lustrous green leaves. Each 4–6" double flower, filled with 25–30 petals, opens to reveal a rich tone that holds true through every stage. A mild tea fragrance enhances Drop Dead Red’s appeal, and the upright, bushy habit ensures a polished look. Reliable repeat blooming keeps the show going all season, with larger flowers appearing in cooler conditions.
