Tall annual with striking, bronze-red flowers. Excellent for adding height to the back of borders, as a screen or for cut flowers. Flowers can reach diameter of 10cm. If not planning to harvest the seeds, leave the spent flowers on the plant so that birds can feed on the exposed seed head in autumn.
