Red Cap produces vibrant, brilliantly coloured blooms in bold shades of clear red, bringing instant energy and warmth to the garden. The flowers are neatly formed, with carefully arranged petals creating a full, balanced shape and excellent visual impact. Its vivid colouring stands out beautifully among softer tones while complementing richer planting schemes with confidence.
A prolific and dependable variety, Red Cap flowers freely on strong, upright stems, making it an excellent choice for both cutting and borders. Its long-lasting blooms add brightness and structure to arrangements, while in the garden it delivers reliable colour and cheerful presence from midsummer until the first frosts.
