red perenials?
 

My sister in law made a comment that there are very few red perenials. Is
that true?
We could only remember a couple ans she has one other but doesn't know the
name.
So far we know of Bee Balm and Coral bells. Any others for the list?

Red coreopsis? I have pink ones....
Have to look for the red species now :)
I thought poppies were annuals.....
Do you have a link to seed vendors?

Thanks,

Are plants that reseed themselves considered perennials? Or is a true
perennial where the same plant reemerges every year? I've been curious
about this point.

Coreopsis 'Limerock Ruby'. Unless you're in a fairly warm zone, this
one is now being considered an annual.

Off the top of my head, so not a complete list, of course. Yarrow,
dianthus, lobelia, lots of daylilies, roses, asters and mums, lychnis,
Potentilla, Oriental poppy, Asiatic lilies, et al. If you play a little
loose with the definition of red to include the burgundy-reds,
orange-reds and pinky reds, the list would be longer.

They are not true perennials.

It was sold here on Long Island as a perennial... It is really beautiful. I
guess I should do what I can to protect it. DK
