'Arizona Sun' has large, boldly coloured, fiery-red flowers edged with a ring of vivid yellow, on a compact, heat and drought tolerant plant. Butterflies are highly attracted to its bright colours. Since these plants bloom from early summer into fall, they will provide continuous colour in containers and will keep those vases full of fresh blanket flower bouquets all season long. Spent flower heads attract goldfinches. A 2005 All-American Selection and winner of the 2005 Fleuroselect Gold Medal.
