Wing Ding™

2008 Intro

(cv. WEKairyven) PPAF

It’s party time for Polyanthas.  There’s never been a Poly with this searing scarlet color.  So let’s throw a Wing-Ding to celebrate.  You’ll be surprised at the number of bright little long-lived blossoms carried in each huge pyramid-shaped cluster.  The sheer weight of those copious clusters gives the plant a slightly spilling habit to nod over a rock wall or break up the garden border.  Shiny-clean deep green leaves add to the revelry of the glitzy blooms.  Paint the town ‘scarlet’ red with this pretty Poly.
