That looks like Bees Pink Delight to me. Perhaps the others were paler than they should have been. Can only suggest an internet search against the species. Very often they are grown in such large numbers, micro. prop. method that batches are produced which aren't true to the cultivar name, despite the apparently fail-safe method.

Perhaps a mis-spelling. There are no other plants that I can think of with a name like Tanacetum. There are a fair number of different forms of T. coccineum.
