The story

Cherry-red, and it reblooms.

Mophead flowers open cherry-red and deepen to wine as they age. It blooms on old and new wood, so a late frost or a bad pruning job doesn't cost you the summer. At two to three feet, it fits a pot by the door.

Light

Morning sun, afternoon shade.

Water

Keep it evenly moist; more in heat. Wilting at midday that recovers by evening is normal.

Planting

Spring or fall. Rich, well-drained soil. Lime or neutral soil keeps it red; acidic soil turns it purple.

Red mopheads all summer from a shrub small enough for a container.
