Annual. Just another example of the hyperbole of those shameless variety-namers? Not this time. It's everything its name suggests, including having its photograph all over the internet. Petals are shaded with deep purple and violet near the center which morphs to vivid raspberry toward the edges, then deeply cut with irregular pointy fringes. Yellow-green centers with prominent creamy-yellow anthers accentuate the 4–5" flower. Either gorgeous or hideous, depending on your point of view, but undeniably dramatic. 3' tall.
