Is there a red burgmansia?
Do Brugs. Come In Red
Yup,vulcanicola,sanguinea....
flava too, some are working very close to reds in other mixed species too from what I hear.

Okay guys who have a cutting they will send me in spring or now if they want of a red? Hmmmmm
You can get seeds of the sanguinea on e-bay for between 2-4 bucks.Check it out!!I bought some,they germinated fast,but then my peacocks did some pruning and killed all but 1.But I still have it,not big enough to take cuttings from.But buy the seeds,its a economical way to get a few.
Diane, I have some sanguinea seedlings that are about 6-8" tall. Bad thing is I don't know if they are red or yellow. I can put your name in one now and mail it to you in the spring. LMK

Can put on shade won't hot during hot summer not let the sun cook em burn up he he he....Can use in house will be fine to use open up window to let the sun light on it, I am sure will work to use bigger pot.

My sanguinea did terrible this summer.We had record heat,every time it got around 90 it started loosing all its leaves.And I had it in the shade.Can't even picture what prolonged periods of heat would do to it!

Redrose,
The only way you can get the sanguinea to live in your area is to grow it inside the house with the Air Conditioner on. It is not just the heat that the sanguinea doesn't like it is our humidity...we have to much humidity.
I am wondering if it would live here? I don't want to kill one if I get it.
Tig, put my name on one too please,if you have one to spare. I think they will live in our cool climate...
I don't want to share my post. LOL
I have gotten a few sanguinea's to make it here for 2 years at the most outside in Florida. I know that they have bloomed from seed and do better in the mtns of NC and further north.I know a few people in Maryland have gotten them to impressive size/blooming stature.
Here is a link to a picture of a (red) sanguinea:

Thanks, I think, to a couple people who shall remain nameless for getting me started on yet another obsession...
<@:-) John
welcome to our madness John!!! LOL!!
Thanks, tiG. I have only one, an unnamed white I was able to root from a cutting (!) and I have been promised a cutting of 'Frosty Pink'. But the brugbug has bitten... John
Sorry to hear it John......LOL
John, come spring, I think we can 'help' you out!!! LOL!
Oh John, Just wait till next spring. You're fun is only just beginning. Hehehe.
Another victim
Do I sense gloating? Do I see pairs of pruners aimed at overgrown Brugs? Do I look like an obsessive personality to you all? Did I end up with 83 new hostas in one season??? John
THANK YOU...JOHN, FOR HYPERLINK, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RED BRUGS THAT I WAS HOPING GET SOME, I LOVE THAT COLOR RED. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
RR, they won't bloom above 70*, I'm as optimistic as the next person, but they just can't take our weather. you might be much happier with one of the darker pinks. and take your red in another plant, just a thought.
YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN TEMPTED TO GROW ONE BUT IN WINTER I HAVE VERY LITTLE LIGHT. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
MG give it a shot! If I can grow them you can too. If you keep them potted you'll just need to bring it in in the fall. They're easier to over winter than you'd think. Here is a good page about over wintering http://home.att.net/~perennials/winter.html
poppysue, THANKS NOW THAT I'VE SAW THAT PAGE I THINK I CAN DO ALL THOSE THINGS! I CAN'T WAIT I.VE ALWAYS LOVED THE LOOKS OF THEM!
I sure wish I lived up North like the rest of you. Thats not keeping me from trying to work with the red ones though. I am going to pray for a Roter Vulkan x Ida...Ida x Roter Vulkan...Roter Vulkan x Flava...and many such hybrids this coming winter....Heres hoping I can just keep em alive this year and get a bloom though. Someone has to breed me a more heat tolerant red.
