Euphorbia polychroma ‘Bonfire’

(Spurge) Euphorbia ‘Bonfire’ PP18,585 is a hot new perennial with striking mahogany red foliage. Unlike other Euphorbias that may turn red in the fall, ‘Bonfire’ PP18,585 displays its smoldering red foliage all summer long! Radiant chartreuse flower bracts provide a nice contrast in the spring. A nice mounding habit with foliage that is resistant to deer and rabbits.

Luau™ Pipedream Tangerine Hibiscus

ColorBlaze™ Dark Star Coleus

We made up some beautiful combination planters this year and this is one of them. In this combination we included Coleus Dark Star, Lemon Symphony Osteospermum and Calibrachoa Blue. A suggestion that I have to make a nice full looking Coleus is to trim them back to about 6″ once they originally get about 12″.

(Coleus) Color Blaze™ Dark Star Solenostemon is a must have for all coleus lovers. The stunning dark purple foliage gives great color all season long. Color Blaze™ Dark Star is another great introduction from Proven Winners!
