Petunia ‘Inferno the Orange’: A fiery orange petunia that is one-of- kind and a must try in the garden. Blooms deliver nonstop color from spring through frost, glowing brightest in full sun. The flowers are large and plentiful, forming a dense, mounded to slightly trailing habit that works beautifully in containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, and sunny landscape beds. Light deadheading and fertilizing will keep plants compact and encourage blooms. Petunias perform best in full sun and moderate water.
Bidens ‘BEE Pink Buzz’: A pink Bidens? Yes please! ‘BEE Pink Buzz’is noted for its breakthrough rose-pink color, a departure from the more common yellow and orange Bidens varieties. Bees will flock to thes brightly colored flowers all summer long. The blooms are not only pretty but they smell good, too! Use in mixed containers or in ground plantings. Slight deadheading will encourage continuous blooms. They do best in full sun but can handle some shade with moderate water.
Isotoma Fizz n’ Pop™ ‘Glowing Violet’: Outrageously large, bright violet blooms are 1.5" in size that sit on top of feathery green foliage. One of the all-time favorites for filler in patio pots and containers. Flowers are abundant and bloom all summer long and are visited by many pollinators. These are self-cleaning annuals and require little maintenance. They are a perfect plant for beginners and will be enjoyed for all the summer months. Isotoma performs best in full sun and moderate water.
Bracteantha GRANVIA ‘Orange Flame’: This strawflower will not disappoint with its bright orange flowers —they set every garden ablaze! Stunning in landscape beds and large patio containers as a thriller. Flowers are perfect for fresh or dried flower arrangements. The color will stay even when completely dried out! Like all annuals, bracteantha will perform best with occasional fertilizing, full sun and moderate water.
Verbena Lanai® ‘Green Apple’: This beauty has vibrant flowers that are a faint green color that lasts throughout the growing season. It is the perfect addition to your garden as it goes with any color combo. This verbena has a strong, cascading habit, which is a staple spiller for stunning hanging baskets and mixed containers. Verbenas are technically self-cleaning but will look tidier and encourage more blooms if deadheaded. This plant will thrive in full sun and moderate water.
