Grower Information:

Showstopping colours…bold patterns…rich textures: Pro landscapers and gardeners love these centre stage varieties for their great looks and reliable performance in sunny gardens and patio planters.

All are suitable for shade.

  • Stable colour/pattern all season like similar vegetative varieties. 
  • Very late flowering for longer-lasting performance and holds very well in extreme weather.
