When this crimson-coated beauty springs into bloom, it’s almost as if a character straight out of a Dr. Seuss book emerges to serve you a quizzical expression. The dramatic upper petals curve to form long, inquisitive eyebrows that are the perfect combination of whimsy and charm.

While there may be something puzzling about this plant’s appearance, there’s no question regarding its garden value. Grown for its showy 6-petal red flowers, Sprekelia is easy to please in sunny borders or containers. Plant where the soil remains fairly dry when dormant from late fall to winter. Enj!
