Brilliant, very large, orange-scarlet flowers are produced in abundance beginning in early summer. The attractive, fleshy foliage has a purplish-bronze cast over the naturally dark green leaves. This is possibly the most attractive of the easier campions you can grow and is very hardy as long as it has sufficient winter drainage.
