Angela’s Garden Notes:
Strong, thick stems suport many, many bubblegum pink bloms on this compact and incredibly floriferous selection from Arie Bloom of AB-Cultivars in The Netherlands. The blooms emerge with lime green centers that fade to deep pink and then to a golden yellow as the summer goes on. This plant will bloon like an annual and it will make the perfect 1 gallon on a retail shelf.
