| If there is any group of plants that appears to have grown enormously in popularity in recent years, it is the F1 strains of that old favourite, the Busy Lizzie. Even in indifferent summers, many parks and gardens can be seen with large beds that can only be described as, using that well-worn cliché, a riot of colour, with no soil or foliage visible beneath the countless flowers in a myriad of exotic colours. Why not also transform your back door this year – two 8 or 9 inch pots and two of these plants are all you need! The F1 hybrid Busy Lizzies we offer produce dwarf and compact plants with a naturally branching habit, early and uniform, profuse blooming and giving you an abundance of very large, round flowers the entire season that cover the plant in an energetic, foliage-covering fashion. Very easy to grow (but they appreciate a germination temperature of 72-76°F (22-24°C)), they are very tolerant plants, flourishing both in full sun or partial shade in borders, pots, containers and baskets. |
