Introduced in 1837, Tuscany Superb produces large, semi-double, 5” blooms with 24+ petals in a lovely deep, crimson purple. Her velvety petals contrast with rich, golden-yellow stamens on this once-blooming, nearly thornless plant. As her name suggests, she is “superbly” fragrant. Tuscany Superb is at her best in spring with dense foliage as a backdrop for her gorgeous, porcelain-looking blooms. She is exceptionally fragrant, a favorite of pollinators, and can handle dappled shade as well.
