RARE 'Watermelon Wine' is a mid-season, single, watermelon-red Itoh. Dark raspberry-pink flowers with darker wine-red petal bases are lightly fragrant. 'Watermelon Wine' is both beautiful and strong, opening in late mid-season with large flowers that last and last. These blooms nearly glow with their bright, watermelon-red tone offset by bright yellow stamens. Like many Itohs, 'Watermelon Wine' grows to a perfect compact and tidy bush. The flowers are great for cutting and in arrangements, and that bright lipstick-red will attract pollinators and hummingbirds and keep the party going for weeks. EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITY! (Anderson, 1999).
