It's no wonder Profusion Cherry (and its sister, Orange!) won the AAS Gold Medal Flower Award--the first flowers to receive this prestigious award in a decade! And then both Cherry and White walked off with Europe's Florueselect Gold as well! The most highly-decorated landscaping Zinnia ever grown, Profusion remains the ONLY choice for an extra-early, extra-long, extra-colorful summer season of bloom!. ... more info
Coleus - Red Ruffles The Coleus Red Ruffles, 'Coleus hybrid', has intense red leaves with black penciling. These new, bigger, sun loving varieties have revolutionized contanier gardening. The brilliant colors explode in sunny locations. Frost will cause them to die immediately. Coleus plants are so colorful that many people keep them and use them as a house plant. Coleus must have good soil drainage. Poorly drained soils and excessive watering will damage coleus. Plants suffering from "wet feet" will be stunted, leaves will turn a muddy brown, and leaf margins will be scorched. For zones 10-11, this plant can also be a perennial.
