Formal Decorative · 4–6"Red2001

Jamaica produces bright formal blooms in a striking bicolor pattern: each broad, rounded petal carries a crystalline white stripe down its center, flanked on both sides by intense, pure red. Flowers are medium-sized and appear from midsummer right through the first frost, making this a reliable and eye-catching addition to any cutting garden. Plants are vigorous and well-branched, sending up stems that are well-suited for fresh arrangements. It was first introduced in 2001.

Growing Jamaica

Pinch the central shoot when plants are knee-high to encourage more branching and heavier bloom production. Stake early to support the tall stems against wind. Water at the base consistently, especially during dry spells, and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds begin to form. Cut blooms often to keep new buds coming until frost.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Staking recommended once buds set
