Wayside Garnet was offered  for years in the famous colour catalog of Wayside Gardens and thus a widely grown mini. The flowers are long lasting, look like a large 'Red Imp' but the variety is actually a sport of 'Oakington Ruby'. The bushy 15 to 20-inch multibranched stems carry clusters of flat-centered three-quarter to 1 inch garnet red flowers, which appear very blue toned if seen next to true scarlet flowers.
