| Beautifully framing the pure red blooms, the large, generously zoned foliage of this Orbit is almost a scene-stealer! Widely shaded in near-black against the rich green, these leaves are handsome enough to stand on their own as a foliage plant--but the huge 4- to 5-inch flowerheads nearly obscure them at the height of bloom! You will love Orbit's easy-care habit and constantly attractive look. Basal-branching yet compact, it manages to produce plenty of blooms and leaves on neat 14-inch plants. And it blooms early, extending the show right up to frost in the garden, pots, or windowboxes! If you like Orbit red, you will love the other colors in the series -- appleblossom, salmon, violet, scarlet, white, pink, and rose. There's an economical mix of all 8, or our special money-saving collection, which gives you one full packet of each of the 8 colors. You can't go wrong with this beloved favorite! Easy to start from seed indoors in late winter or outdoors in early spring, it blooms all summer and can be wintered over indoors. Position in full sun and well-drained soil. Packet is 10 seeds. |
