This plant's blooms nod downward, so it would be easier to fully appreciate it if it were grown on an arbor. My 'Carmencita' blooms very well here with just a couple of hours worth of late afternoon sun.

'Carmencita' is often confused with 'Kermesina'. 'Carmencita' has a deeper color and the pistils are much longer than the stamens. In 'Kermesina' they're almost the same length. 'Kermesina' also has a white spot near the base of the tepals, 'Carmencita' does not. It was named 'Carmencita' because it reminded Magnus Johnson of "dark-eyed Spanish beauties".
