Hi, it is a vibrant, glossy red. it has been around here for a few years that I know of, I bought what was supposed to be Major and Mrs Hegarty in 1998, both were the same and neither of these! I got this a couple of years ago at my local garden centre, could do a google? We call it schizostylis here, but it seems officially to be hesperantha.

forestfarm also has some, but just the ordinary red coccinea, not the cultivar Major, also has 'Alba', 'Mrs Heggarty', 'Oregon Sunset'
