'Flame' bears single, cup-shaped flowers in a bright, fiery coral red around a tuft of golden-yellow stamens. It flowers early, from May, and stays compact at about 60–80 cm. The open flowers attract bees.

About this variety

The colour of 'Flame' is hard to describe. Depending on the light, the red looks a strong coral red, then again warm and glowing like a flame. At the centre of the single, cup-shaped flowers stands a dense tuft of golden-yellow stamens. The flowers reach about 8 cm and are among the earliest of the season.

At about 60–80 cm tall with strong stems, the plant stays compact and hardly falls apart. It suits the front of a bed and a border. Dark green, finely divided foliage frames the flowers. Good companions are white candytuft, silvery lamb's ears or blue calamint.

The open flower is easily accessible for bees and bumblebees. 'Flame' is also a pleasure in a vase, especially in loose, natural bouquets. Cut the stems just as the buds are opening. With 5 plants you create a glowing patch of colour in the early-summer garden that stands out from afar.

Planting

Plant the rhizomes between September and November; pot-grown plants can also go in in spring. Cover the eyes with 2–3 cm of soil. Keep 70–90 cm apart. Choose a sunny to partially shaded spot with moist loamy, sandy or clay soil.

Care

Water regularly in the first year and avoid waterlogging. Feed in spring with compost. Thanks to the sturdy stems, support is usually not needed. Do not move the perennials. They are hardy, even at higher altitudes.
