Ruby Star is a refined seed strain similar to Magnus having horizontally held petals with more substance and a deeper magenta-red flower color. Plants bloom from summer into early fall with regular deadheading and are great for cut and dried arrangements as well as attracting butterflies and goldfinches to the garden.
