Fresh light pinkish-red flowers with primrose yellow throats from midsummer into autumn. Strong stems to 80cm. Well drained soil in full sun.

Likely to be at least as hardy as the species and similar to 'Ruby' so if you can grow those then 'David Hills' should be fine too. Not as quick to increase as 'Ruby' though!
