‘Sam Hopkins’ is dark elegance personified — bold, velvety, and irresistibly rich. His large, perfectly formed blooms glow in the deepest shades of crimson and maroon, so dark they almost appear black in low light. The petals have a satin sheen that gives each flower a touch of quiet luxury, making him a standout in any border or bouquet. Powerful, dramatic, and endlessly sophisticated, Sam Hopkins brings a touch of midnight glamour to the garden — a true showstopper with depth and allure.
