Its lax bush/semi trailing habit make it very useful in containers or baskets. Flowers profusely for a very long time and is largely self deadheading. Recommended.

Sepals: Coral red, green tipped.

Corolla: Bold coral pink.

Foliage: Dark green, large leaved, lush, and younger leaves show a pinkish base.

Parentage: F. cordifolia x F. lycoides.
