A flower season lasting from late summer to winter and masses of red flowers are the outstanding characteristics of this cultivar. The

grey-green plant starts growing a stem from an early stage and can produce its first flower at a very young age. The rosette divides or splits when the plant is closer to maturity and this provides an even greater flower display. Each rosette is capable of producing up to 7 branched inflorescences and most inflorescences carry 5 closely spaced, upright racemes. Super Red's flower performance is truly spectacular.
