SHAWNEE CHIEF (Bigger) An excellent cut-flower red coming into bloom midseason. It open; well in the field and has excellent keeping qualities if placed in storage. The stems are about 30 inches tall and on well established plants you may expect from 12 to 20 flowers. In the bud this fine red resembles a Rose.
