Stunning Red Flowered Perennial?

I collected the seed for this from one growing in my mum's garden about 5 years ago, I sowed the seed earlier this year and got a few plants growing and two have flowered, I just can't for the life of me remember its name, i should do and its on the tip of my tongue, any ideas? Thanks :thumb:

It has purple/green leaves and the flower is about the size of an old 50p piece..

Something keeps telling me its something....'vesuvius'??????

 

You almost had it.
Try Lychnis x arkwrightii 'Vesuvius'

Hi Marley, I might still have some seed stashed away somewhere, I'll have a look and if I have your more than welcome to some if you like :thumb:

 

That's the one; interesting that in its first year it has a larger apparently red flower and then more but smaller flowers in its second year that appear more orange.

I remember my mum's looking like the orange flowered plant...
