I planted several of these and every single one only has red flowers with a yellow throat. Not at all what I was expecting and they don’t coordinate well with my other plants. Very disappointing .

Very prolific! Grew well in our mild winter in zone 10b. I really enjoyed it softening the edge of my raised bed. 4/5 since I did wish the color was more vibrant.
