While not equal to the single in brilliancy, the double varieties last much longer in bloom. The early varieties, such as Murillo, Imperator Rubrorum, and the Tournesols, are excellent for forcing. The later sorts will not bear forcing, but are very effective in beds or borders. A combination or solid bed of the pure white and bright scarlet varieties, La Candeur, and Rubra Maxima is especially effective.
