    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A rare light blue selection with large trumpets. For us, not a heavy bloomer and ironically, we get the most blooms in the offseason summer-fall. For any good garden soil, needs light shade in hotter regions. 2 3/8" square - 3 3/4" deep pots - blooming size.
