Deep crimson single flowers grace this Pyrethrum. Cheery bright flowers that are freely produced in late spring to summer, should re-flower if cut back after first blooming. Finely-cut, somewhat ferny foliage grows in a pleasing mound. Easy to grow, striking when planted in masses and drought tolerant. Cut flowers last well in arrangements.
