Bred to be extremely uniform in habit and flower timing across all colors, blooming all in the same week. Beneficial to greenhouse growers, as culture does not need adjusting. Since all colors finish together, they can be shipped to retail at the same time. Series truly performs like clockwork.
Ideal for quart and gallon containers, and hanging baskets.

NEW Appleblossom Improved: Extremely uniform flower timing. Uniform habit with large blooms.
NEW Red Improved: Better branching for more flower power.
