Blooming season: Grown primarily for their foliage; generally best to nip off blooms to prevent plant from setting seed and draining energy from foliage production. Plant habit: most are fairly upright, though Burgundy Trailing is a much lower, spreading habit. Characteristics: Colorful attractive foliage Spacing: 12" other small varieties; you can give the big ones more room (15"+) to ensure adequate ventilation and stem strength but we know that some customers prefer closer spacing.
Height: from 2-3+' for Alabama Sunset, Gay's Delight, etc... Exposure: sun to pt. shade, depending on variety and availability of water. Uses: beds and borders, garden and landscape, mixed containers, 55 mph drive-by beds, just about anywhere. |
Most vegetative varieties will have more vivid color and thicker stems in full sun but will tolerate light shade just fine. Kongs will definitely need some shade.
