Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A softness in floral beauty is expressed through the trumpet-shaped blooms of this upright growing cultivar. The flowers are tinted in blue-lavender, which expand from the yellow throat and flow into the white-edged petals. A sport from the larger forms of T. erecta alba, it was picked at Morningstar Nursery in Delray Beach, FL. This strong and heavy grower flowers for us from spring through fall with its heaviest flowering in spring.
