Impatiens Double Fiesta Series

‘Fiesta Appleblossom’

Over the years we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing Impatiens walleriana in window boxes and borders—it’s a landscape standard for lightening shade areas. Often the bright flower colors are used to create bold patterns and eye-catching stripes in the border. Now, flashy has its place, but some situations call for a more understated approach.

Eye-catching ‘Early Springs Dark Blue’ 

True blue flowers are eye-catching and they’re also rare, which makes us value them even more. Lobelia is one source of this elusive color that landscapers turn to again and again because it’s so reliable—I suppose you could say it’s a true-blue true blue.

Our Early Springs lobelia from Ball FloraPlant has been bred for improved heat tolerance, so it flowers profusely from early spring right on into the warm days of early summer, even blooming in full sun. Unlike other vigorous basket lobelias, these plants have an upright, controlled habit that makes them very manageable in small containers and smaller mixed combinations.

‘Early Springs White’ has a touch of dark blue 

Colors in this series are nicely matched, so we can use them together for an eye-catching all-lobelia display. ‘Dark Blue’ is a deep, dark blue with tiny white eyes, plus we have two new varieties this year: ‘Sky Blue’—a pretty pale blue with white eyes, and cool, clean ‘White’ with a hint of dark blue in the eye.

All of our Early Springs lobelia selections are available in the 4.5-inch pot.

‘Graffiti Pink’ pentas

We’ve added bright, clear ‘Graffiti Pink’ to our lineup for spring. These beautiful star-shaped flowers thrive in our hot, dry Cincinnati summers. You might remember this series for its continuous blooms—they keep coming all season long with no need to deadhead.

Brilliant color is another hallmark of Graffiti pentas. Notice the striking contrast of the vibrant pink flowers against the shiny, dark green foliage. It’s great for adding a bit of drama to a sunny border or containers for sun.

Pentas is a wellspring of nectar, so add it to your list of pollinator-friendly varieties. In addition to ‘Pink’, we also have ‘Graffiti Violet’ and ‘Graffiti White’.

Our Graffiti pentas comes in the 4.5-inch pot.
