| Winner of a 2008 All-America Selection, Asti™ White is the first separate color for African Daisies available from seed. A very heat- and drought-tolerant variety, Asti™ is so long-blooming that you may just have to move these plants from the cutting garden to front-and-center in the annual bed! These spanking-white blooms are so neat and tidy, their closely-spaced petals surrounding a handsome dark center. The flowers reach about 2 inches wide, with petals held straight out on long, wiry stems. Perfect for cutting, these blooms also look good on the plant, thanks to a more compact, tight habit. Expect the flowers to keep coming from early summer all the way into fall, especially if you cut or deadhead the blooms promptly to encourage new bud formation. Asti™ Lavender Shades boasts the same great flower power and garden strength as White, with a range of blue-toned blooms. Grow both for formal designs and patterns in garden or vase! In bloom these plants measure 18 to 20 inches high, and they grow about 2 feet wide. Sun-loving and very forgiving of harsh conditions, they deserve a place of honor in your garden! Pkt is 10 seeds. |
