Shrub- Deep pink/light red.
 
As you might suspect, this sister seedling of the famed Knock Out®   has some sisterly similarities – same great black spot resistance, same deep pink color & similar grey-green foliage. Yet, as is often the case with sisters, there are those all-important differences to tout – a few more petals & a more compact rounded habit. Elsewise, if you love one, you’ll likely love the other.

Shrub - Showy flame red

This flame-red offspring of the famous Knock Out® (cv. RADrazz) kicks the competition up a notch when it comes to disease resistance. Home Run® has a phenomenal fortitude against the dreaded black spot (like its father). But, unlike Dad, it is also completely resistant to powdery mildew & has a much higher level of tolerance to downy as well. Rounded, bushy, fast-to-flower and nearly always in color, it hits a grand slam in the landscape & scores lots of points in a pot, too.
