Upright, velvety plumes in deep crimson-red with a subtle burgundy cast. The narrow, tapered spikes create bold vertical movement with saturated, late-season intensity.
Architectural and strong in silhouette, Red Spike adds contrast and richness to arrangements, pairing well with dahlias, dark foliage, and warm-toned autumn palettes.
