Key features
Garvinea Sweet Fiesta offers long-lasting, large flowers. This robust, weather-tolerant garden plant has an ongoing flowering period from early spring until the first frost. Garvinea Sweet Fiesta is resistant to pests and diseases. Garvinea Sweet Fiesta features pink-white two-toned flowers and hosts colorful festivities in the garden — bees and butterflies will start a party around the plant. It has the same Garvinea robustness and disease resistance retailers and consumers expect. An exciting extra feature of Garvinea: flowers can be picked from the plant and enjoyed as cut flowers.

Garvinea Sweet Fiesta works well in garden borders and in outdoor containers. Garvinea is easy to combine with other flowering plants and ornamental grasses and can be the main component in a mixed planter.
