Description

With flowers in the most luscious Cardinal purple velvet, ‘Kew Blue’ is an exquisite flower, perfect for smaller table-top pots and as a cut flower. It’s stems are fine, so this performs best if grown up through a nest of twiggy branches for support. A truly exotic beauty.

Care Tips

For best results, provide a rich, light, well-drained soil in full sun. May require support. Pick or remove dead flowers to prolong flowering. Thrives also grown under glass.
