| The absolute top performing Lisianthus in our trial gardens this year, Sapphire Pink Rim forms a neat, mounded little plant that just covers itself in blooms! Garden visitors will think you go around trimming this plant, so symmetrical is it -- and the long, slender buds, arising in a big candleabra, burst into magnificent lavender-edged white blooms all summer long! Best of all, this plant never needs staking, yet it delivers a bouquet of color as showy as any of the taller varieties! The best Lisianthus for bedding, the Sapphire series (check out Blue Chip and the mix of both pink and blue-edged blooms) grows perfectly shaped little plants with big, beautiful 2½-inch blooms. Pink Rim's flowers are white except for a showy lavender-pink edge that looks like pursed lips as it unfolds! Ideal for a large planting, Pink Rim is uniform in size and bloomtime. VERY attractive, yet so easy! I always think of Lisianthus as the master of disguise in my garden, because its buds look exactly like Roses, its newly-opened blossoms like Tulips, and the older flowers like Poppies! A superb cutflower, it keeps its form and shape nicely. And in the garden, you will find the Sapphire series to outbloom all others, treating you to encore after encore as the season winds down. I love plants that liven up instead of dying down at the end of the season! This plant reaches 6 to 10 inches high and wide, making it fine for containers as well as the sunny garden. It thrives in any good garden soil, and will delight you over a long summer season. Enjoy! Pkt is 25 seeds. |
