Showstopper!

Gorgeous blossoms. Reliably booms every year on tall sturdy stems. Regrows after winter (zone7b) and spreads by seed. I used to have bi-annual varieties and don't mind the mixed flower garden so was not surprised and actually was happy to see new plants taking off from seed. But if you prefer a tidy landscape, make sure to deadhead them before seeds ripen.
Deer and geese don't touch them. Doesn't seem to be attractive to bugs/caterpillars either. So all in all a great plant. Cannot tell if it's attracting many pollinators though. One of the reasons might be- not many of bees in the urban landscape in general... :-(

Great!

It's beautiful the pictures don't do it justice cause they are starting to die off.

Hearty, and gorgeous in partial shade.

Friendly.

Order arrived quickly.

Order arrived quickly on a Tuesday. Planted following Saturday. All have come up, though a little small. Only one looks sickly. Just one green stem with a leaf. Hope to see flowers later this summer.

Hello J, Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear your Crimson Star plants are coming up well overall. It's not unusual for some to start off a bit smaller, especially early in the season. The one that looks a little weak may still bounce back with time, warmth, and consistent care. We hope you're rewarded with beautiful blooms later this summer—feel free to keep us updated!

That’s certainly not the quality we aim to provide. Your satisfaction is important to us, and our customer service team is reviewing your order and will be following up with you directly to help resolve the issue.

Pretty bad.

The Plant hardly grew and never bloomed. Waste of Money.
