Description

I’m in danger of saying this too often...but REALLY you have to wrap yourself up in this lot and go to a party — or if you don’t feel like it, just tuck in and go to sleep. Few plants have texture like this! And, amazingly, this trio grew very happily in our Dutch Yard against the farmhouse in shade. The one thing we had to do was cut a few tresses off the petunia every month or so, so it didn’t swallow up the other two.

This collection contains 1 or 2 plants each of:
  • Petunia x 'Tidal Wave Red Velour' F1
  • Fuchsia triphylla 'Eruption'
  • Coleus 'FlameThrower Salsa Roja'

Care Tips

Water and deadhead as often as you can and start a weekly feed after about a month. The plants will need protection from early frosts, so keep somewhere frost-free in the spring.
