Exquisite, deep velvety red multi-stem flowers are held in profusion above strong, healthy plants. Rip City's colour is almost impossible to capture in photos - one that has to be seen to be believed. The wavy petals start off as an almost black colour, emerging to the rich, deep red as they mature. An eye-catching addition for sure.

Tips From the Flower Grower: Disbudding (removing the side buds) off the flower spikes will give you larger, single blooms on one stem. Alternatively, leave the side buds on the stem to get gorgeous, multi-headed stems with smaller but still perfect blooms.
Blends with: Dahlia "Boom Boom White", Cosmos "Fizzy White" and Scabiosa "Summer Berries" or " Snowmaiden" for a contrasting display.
