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.

sweet william, red valerien, roses, peony, red veronica speedwell, 'autumn red'

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
