One of the older favorites, watermelon red is known all across the south. It has a pink blush to it,
so if you are looking for a true red color, try our Dynamite red or Victor dwarf red.

They are exceptionally attractive focal points at the corners of foundation plantings or in
groupings at the corners of your property.
