The leaves are rather more oblong than the typically elliptic L.
tartarica, but the flower colour and other floral characters are
nearly right for the cultivar 'Hacks Red'. If you call it tartarica
you won't be wrong, but because it is almost certainly a wild set
seedling, it can't be Hacks Red no matter how similar.
