Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Jan 15, 2012 6:02 AM concerning plant:

Mildew resistant and growing to around 3 feet tall, 'Starfire' has deep, shocking pink flowers with almost black stems creating a beautiful color contrast. The foliage has dark markings also. Blooms in early to mid-summer but will keep flowering if spent flowers are cut off. A great cut flower, very fragrant, and butterflies love it.
