Originally called Ruby Tuesday (a song by the Rolling
Stones) it was renamed after being on the market for a couple of years.
"Thuesday" is “somewhere between Tuesday and Thursday”, i.e.
Wednesday.
The flowers are small, very dark, almost black red at
first with quilled petals. It flowers from mid August and grows to about
2ft / 60cm tall in the ground. Apparently it was bred for container
culture. It is not as hardy as most varieties.
