Description

Adonis aestivalis, commonly known as Summer Pheasant's Eye, is a stunning wildflower prized for its intensely deep crimson-scarlet blooms with contrasting dark black centers. Nestled above feathery, fern-like foliage, these delicate blossoms create a captivating splash of color in naturalized meadows, borders, and cottage gardens. An exceptional choice for cut flower arrangements and historic garden plantings.
