Turk's Cap is wonderful. It colonizes rapidly. It is what is known as a "
passalong plant". It has been in gardens forever, passed from one neighbor to another. The red flowers are very vivid. This plant need some shade, and it is one of the few plants that blooms profusely in the shade. Butterflies and hummingbirds love it. Bees are not a fan of the flowers. There is a pink variety called Pam
Puryear's Pink. It has, as the name
suggests, pink flowers. I have the pink variety growing near the red variety. But, so far, I do not find it to be as profuse a bloomer as the red plants.
