“The flowers of Artrantia Moulin Rouge are like nothing else in the garden. They’re dark red circles surrounded by nearly black bracks. These easy to grow compact growers bloom for lon gperiods and will re-bloom after being cut back. There’s evidence that they may repel slugs and snails.” – Ciscoe Morris
