Swathed in a cloak of striking scarlet petals, the buds of ‘Red Riding Hood’ gradually open to reveal a jet-black centre. A particularly mesmerising variety on account of the clearly defined, dark burgundy stripes covering the stout foliage which enhance the resplendent blooms above.

Like the girl from the fairy-tale, ‘Red Riding Hood’ is petite and plucky, a brilliant statement for container displays and for planting in front of taller varieties within your borders. This dwarf variety has been granted the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding quality, reliability, and vigour.
