Very popular pot-plants, blooming continuously for 
many weeks throughout early spring and summer. Planted 
outdoors in partly shaded beds, they will bloom until frost.

covered with their beautiful, bright, richly colored flowers. 
Our mixture contains these colors: Dark Red, Scarlet, 
Rose, Pink, Orange, Salmon, Yellow, Copper, and White.
