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'.
Thanks.
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.
The 1995 edn. of ICNCP, article 2.18 says "All indistinguishable
variants, irrespective of the origin, are treated as one cultivar". (But
morphologically indistinguishable variants may differ in their edaphic
preferences, or in their hardiness, so I would deprecate distributing a
seedling of a clonally propagated cultivar under the name of the
cultivar.)
