Sorry all! The information on this photo was incorrect. I just corrected the information. LOL! :>)

This plant does not pop up all over my yard. It's a hybrid, so it would not grow true to type from seed.

It's strange, though: my 'Red Riding Hood' isn't red, but it's a much deeper pink than that.

I know. Even the pink-flowered ones are called 'Red Riding Hood...not sure why. As you know, there's so many varieties out there now.

Sounds like another cultivar name that is turning into a common name.
