Red Feathers

Long-blooming spikes of rusty red flowers in spring turn to shades of pink and purple. Will rebloom in summer and fall if deadheaded.

The species name 'amoenum' is from the Latin word 'amoenus' which means "pleasant," "delightful," " lovely," "agreeable," or "charming." Native to a small area of the Caucasus Mountains in Iran, where it is called "cow-tongue flower" because of its rough leaves.
