Burgundy Flower Names

Deep Wine-Red

• For outstanding cut flowers in deep wine-red, try red masterwort “Venice” (Astrantia major “Venice”), daylily “Night Beacon” (Hemerocallis “Night Beacon”) or blanket flower (Gaillardia “Burgundy”). “Venice” bears flowers with a pincushion center encircled by a pinwheel of petals. It blooms all summer and grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9. The trumpet-shape flowers on “Night Beacon” have illuminating yellow throats and bloom early to midsummer. “Burgundy” has daisy-type blossoms with dark centers all summer and into early fall. “Night Beacon” and “Burgundy” grow in USDA zones 2 through 9.

Deep Burgundy-Red

• Make a beautiful bouquet with deep burgundy-red flowers. Garden astilbe “Burgundy Red” (Astilbe × arendsii “Burgundy Red”) puts out tall plumes in mid- to late summer in USDA zones 3 through 9. Lenten rose “Anna’s Red” (Helleborus “Anna’s Red”), from the Rodney Davey Marbled Group, gives you cup-shape flowers all spring atop red stems in USDA zones 4 through 9. Fan lobelia “Burgundy” (Lobelia “Burgundy”) has large clusters of small flowers midsummer to mid-fall in USDA zones 6 through 9.

Burgundy-Purple

• Certain burgundy-purple double blossoms are outstanding for flower arrangements. China pinks “Velvet and Lace” (Dianthus “Velvet and Lace”) begets flowers featuring petals edged in white from early summer to early fall in USDA zones 5 through 9. Burgundy gooseneck loosestrife “Beaujolais” (Lysimachia atropurpurea “Beaujolais”) puts out large arching spikes covered in small flowers and grows in USDA zones 4 through 9. Double hollyhock “Chater’s Moon” (Alcea rosea “Chater’s Moon) has tall stalks covered in flowers and grows in USDA zones 2 through 9. The latter two flowers blossom from mid to late summer.

Burgundy to Black

• Some burgundy-to-black blossoms make excellent cut flowers. Hardy carnation “King of the Blacks” (Dianthus caryophyllus “King of the Blacks”) bears double blossoms with a spicy-clove aroma from early summer to early fall in USDA zones 4 through 9. Dwarf red masterwort “Rubra” (Astrantia carniolica “Rubra”) is a colorful substitute for Queen-Anne’s-Lace (Daucus carota) in bouquets and flowers all summer.
