Doris Day
The classic red that never goes out of style.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in a sunny, well-drained spot after your last frost date. Pinch the central shoot early to encourage branching and a heavier flush of blooms. Support the stems as the plant grows tall, and cut regularly to keep the flowers coming. Deadhead or harvest often, as the more you pick, the more it gives.
