Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A superb fruiting variety that self-pollinates and produces large oval fruit of excellent sweetness and flavor. The 2" blooms are exquisitely defined with a dark purple band against a background of white. Blooming freely, it goes uninterrupted from early spring through fall.

By: Logee's Plants for Home & Garden

Exotic white flowers, which have a dark purple band around the filamentous corolla, are born from spring to fall. The self-pollinating flowers are soon followed by large, round, sweet greenish-colored fruit with an excellent flavor. Item # 3083
