Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Both parents of this cross are very easy growers with 4-6 inch trailing stems that cover themselves in late summer with large, marvelously blue trumpets. Thanks to a bit of hybrid vigor, this cross is even easier, and shows a bit of variability in terms of flower color, shape, and size. All are wonderfully lovely, however, and the variation makes them incredibly gorgeous planted in mass, especially since the trailing stems means the different varieties will grow into each other and present a wonderful tapestry of variations on the beautiful blue theme. Zone 5, at least. Full sun.
