A bold spring standout, ‘Crimson Red’ features large, crepe-paper-like blooms in vivid scarlet red with dramatic dark centers. The flowers rise above coarse, deeply cut foliage and make a striking statement in late spring to early summer. After blooming, plants go dormant, allowing nearby perennials to fill in.
