(85 days) Annual. Nothing is staid about this 2006 AAS winner. Color pops right out of 3–4" semi-double blooms with glowing magenta centers and rose petals dipped in yellow at the tips. At 2–3' the well-branched plants are loaded with flowers of remarkable staying power. Whatever our climate dishes out, whether cold rain, drought or steamy heat, the blooms stay clean and last long. Superb for bouquets too, with a vase life of up to 2 weeks. One of the easiest flowers to grow from seed and a favorite for bright color in Maine summers. About 76 seeds/g. ⑥
We have decided to stop carrying varieties sold by Syngenta Group or its subsidiaries, Hollar and Goldsmith. Starting with the 2024 catalog, you will not see any Syngenta Group, or Code 6, varieties listed in our paper catalog. We will continue to sell some varieties online until our in house inventory is gone. Purchasing them will not further support Syngenta Group, but help us limit our losses and lessen the financial impact of our decision.
