Surefire® Cherry Cordial™ | Proven Winners®

Glossy chocolate-black foliage lit with bright cherry-red blooms and golden centers.

Surefire® Cherry Cordial™ is all contrast—deep, almost lacquered leaves paired with clean, vivid red flowers that sit on top like sparks.

What You'll Use It For

A high-contrast anchor that instantly sharpens a planting.

• Creating bold focal points in containers
• Pairing with lime greens and silvers for contrast
• Adding depth to mixed shade or sun plantings
• Mass planting for a dramatic, graphic effect
• Balancing softer pastels with something stronger

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This one does the work for you.

The foliage alone carries weight—dark, reflective, almost black. Then the blooms cut through it with that clear cherry red, so nothing gets lost.

It holds that contrast all season, in sun or shade, without thinning out or dulling down.
