A vigorous red-flowered selection made by Crug Farm Plants. Their catalogue says: "Our own selection of pinnata, bearing deep pink broad flower spikes, during June-July, deepening to a cardinal-red for the autumn. Leaves are bronzed, toothed and divided. Height 1-1.3m. Spread 1.3m. Requires a moisture-retentive soil. Thrives best in partial shade. This cultivar name applies to divisions only." Digging Dog Nursery in the USA write: "Named for the exceptional cardinal-red tones its aging deep pink plumes transmute in autumn, this sought-after cultivar was selected by the famed owners of Crûg Farm Plants, Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones. Rubescent clustered buds plus individual small starry blooms embellish the staunch flowering stems above large Chestnut-like green leaves, which are toothed, divided and bronze washed. Sculpting an undemanding, prominently-veined mound, ‘Crûg Cardinal’ lends handsome heft and texture to cool moist abodes." |
