Quick Overview:

One of the best native perennials for late season color. ‘Red Jewel’ is similar to ‘Sahin’s Early Flowerer’ but offers a red and orange color palette rather than orange and gold. Some flowers may have yellow tipped petals. The tall flower stems are great for cutting for fresh bouquets.

Description

Easily grown in average, medium to wet soils in full sun. Prefers rich, moist soils. Intolerant of dry soils. Avoid overfertilization which may cause plants to grow too tall. Although not required, plants may be cut back in early June (at least six weeks before normal flowering) to reduce plant height and to encourage branching, thus leading to a more floriferous bloom, healthier foliage and less need for support. Remove spent flowers to encourage additional bloom. Cut back plants by 1/2 after flowering. Divide clumps as needed (every 3-4 years) to maintain vigor.
