    HVH: "One of our prettiest new varieties, 'Ruby Tuesday' glows like a fine jewel from sunup to sunset. The influence of both parents is visible in the extraordinary and durable color of this 6-8" flower that blooms steadily on an attractive, upright bush. The mother was the dark brick-red 'Geronimo' and the father the very dark blue and burgundy 'Vin Extraordinaire. Released from HVH in 2010."
