Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Ocean blue pendant flowers with upward curving white sepals lend a cool sophistication to your summer and fall patio pots. The blossoms age to pink violet before falling. Hummingbirds love them, they zoom in and out of our greenhouse just to sip the nectar of these beauties. Deadhead to keep in maximum bloom.

A very hard to find Fuchsia selection. The corolla is a lovely lavender-blue which is accented by white sepals. Semi-upright in habit, it lends itself to topiary.
