Medal of Honor brings together russet, lavender and deep red in a combination with plenty of warmth and contrast. 34″ (86 cm), Midseason bloom. The standards are a russet-and-yellow blend with subtle red veining, complemented by russet style arms. The falls are lavender-mauve with a dramatic deep red blaze surrounding the beard and short white rays extending outward from the center. Bright orange beards provide a strong finishing accent. Slight fragrance. (Thomas Johnson, 2018). Honorable Mention, 2021; Award of Merit, 2025. Photo by Mid-America Gardens.
