I know this is an old thread, but which of all these wonderful reds would be in this category:
--colorfast
--late bloomer
--red [not rose, pink red, etc.] though dark red may be ok
--rounded form preferred
--larger flower preferred
--taller preferred
Yes, I know this is a tall order, but I want to replace Chicago Apache which rounds out a diverse late blooming area. CA fades too much.
thanks
