| Description: |
Consistently
outstanding performance in trials throughout the U.S. and Europe
has earned ‘Alto Blue’ a promotion from PS to PW status.
Able to renew itself continuously throughout the season by over-growing
old blooms with fresh color, it’s also exceptionally heat
tolerant. Taller than the other varieties in the series and with
a more open habit, this fabulously-colored Floss Flower adds texture
and mid-height interest in large containers or landscapes. |
