Roanoke, VA — We are very impressed with the health, growth and development of these plants. They are a wonderful addition to our garden, bringing us much joy and numerous positive comments by visitors about their color, bloom, and general structure. Their color is a striking red, vibrant and not adversely affected by sun. Oakes' plants (from our experience) are very healthy, packaged/shipped well, and well worth the money. The Double Firecracker is just beautiful!

Goodlettsville, TN — I can't add anything more that the previous reviewers, but to say the beauty does very well in our zone 6.5 garden. We love true reds, and the double bloom reminds us of a beautiful carnation.

Niceville, FL — This one is another Beauty! Hot summer days do not fade the flowers one bit...they are a dark, rich red, just like the photo.

Owensboro, KY — Wow, this variety has great fire engine red color. It appears to be 100% double with very fluffy blooms. It holds up well in heat and rain when others fade away. It is a fantastic flower!
