ANGELFACE® Super Blue Angelonia
Standing nearly double the height of our standard Angelface® Angelonias, these new super-sized selections put on an outstanding show of color in the landscape and in large containers. What an incredible summertime end cap these would make at retail! Super Blue bears large, blue-purple flowers on sturdy, thick scapes all season until frost. Like all of our Angelonias, it thrives in hot, humid conditions and requires less water than many flowering annuals. 30 to 40 inches tall with a 12-to-18-inch spread. Full sun.
SUPERTUNIA® Picasso in Purple™ Petunia
The fourth in a wildly popular series, the phenomenal Supertunia® Picasso in Purple™ features vibrant magenta purple flowers with green frosted tips that play off of the deeper green foliage. Though the flowers are similar to Pretty Much Picasso®, the plant is densely branched and mounded like the popular Supertunia® Honey, and it is covered in flowers from spring into fall without deadheading. Like all Supertunia® petunias, it exhibits tremendous heat and humidity tolerance, thriving in hanging baskets and combination containers all season long. This new variety will reach 6 to 12 inches tall with a 18 to 24 inch spread, part sun to sun.
TOUCAN™ Red Canna x generalis
Proven Winners is going tropical with a new line of Toucan™ Cannas. If you love the look of tropical plants but need some that grow more like a petunia, this is what you need. These new cannas are fast, vigorous, highly disease resistant and easy to grow. They are ideal for warm climates where they flower like crazy in the heat. Supertunia® Petunias, Sweet Caroline Ipomoea and other high vigor varieties are all good matches in combinations where Toucan™ Cannas act as a bold-foliage, flowering thriller. Toucan™ Red bears deep red-orange flowers and has lush green foliage. 30 to 48 inches tall by 18 to 24 inches spread. Part sun to sun.
SUPERBENA® Royale Romance Verbena
For designers looking for just the right shade of red that falls between the fire engine red blossoms of Royale Red and the purple blossoms of Royale Plum Wine, there is Royale Romance. Its deep red blossoms will remind you of red velvet cake or merlot as it blends seamlessly into jewel-toned combinations. Its beautiful blossoms are a bit smaller than typical Superbena® but are bred to completely cover the canopy of dark green foliage all summer without going out of bloom, even in hot, dry climates. It will become a vigorously spreading plant for the consumer as it matures. It is an excellent spiller in combination planters and hanging baskets. 6 to 12 inches tall by 18 to 24 inches spread. Part sun to sun.
