Deep red flowers with red/yellowish centers bloom in masses on this slender perennial. These wildflower explode into bloom in early spring, and last through summer. Preferring low-moisture areas, this plant is obviously quite drought resistant. Bees, butterflies, and birds are drawn like a magnet to the showy flowers!
