Zinnia marylandica ‘Profusion Double Deep Salmon’ and ‘Profusion Double Hot Cherry’
‘Profusion Double Deep Salmon’ features intensely vibrant, deep pink-orange flowers with double petals. Like other Profusion Zinnias, Deep Salmon flowers continuously from spring through frost and is easy to grow. It is self-cleaning, disease resistant and grows well in a range of climates, including areas with high night temperatures. The flowers can grow 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter and plants grow 14 inches tall and 24 inches wide. ‘Profusion Double Hot Cherry’ features rich rose, double petalled blooms which cover the plant and flower continuously from spring through frost. The bright color does not fade, even under high temperatures. Like all Profusion, ‘Double Hot Cherry’ is also easy to grow as it is self-cleaning, disease resistant and grows well in a wide range of climates, including areas with high night temperatures.
Tagetes erecta ‘Bali Yellow,’ and ‘Bali Orange’
‘Bali’ is bred and tested under tropical conditions and is excellent for cut flower production with high yields. It has been known to produce over 100 flowers per plant. Plants are strongly branched with round and firm flowers and will not fall over during heavy rain.
Verbena x hybrida ‘Enduro Rose’ and Verbena x hybrida ‘Enduro White Blush’
North, south, east, west, Enduro is tougher than the rest! Over-Summering: stays in flower longer, takes the heat, and tolerates Powdery Mildew. OverWintering: hardy to the low teens, three-color series, plant Summer or Fall. It’s easy to grow gallons that are flower-filled.
