The series consists of four colors: Pink, Red/Rose, Red/White and Red/Purple (shown). Fuchsia is best grown in moderate to cool temperatures and under high light levels. No pinch or PGR is required.
Veronica incana ‘Pure Silver’ was selected for better vigor and ease of propagation by cuttings compared to the species. Plants start blooming in July with lavender-blue flowers that bloom for three to four weeks. The silver foliage looks good all year long and is semi-evergreen. This variety is hardy to Zones 4 through 9.
New for 2009-10, ‘Summer Idols Hot Pink’ is early to flower and fast to finish. It has a medium to strong vigor. The Summer Idols series boasts excellent branching and uniform flowering.
‘Titan Icy Pink’ is a new introduction to one of the most uniform F1 series on the market. It features a mounded, upright habit and large flowers. This variety is a vigorous grower, even in cooler climates, and a good low-water variety in hot, dry conditions. Other new colors to the Titan series include Apricot and Dark Red.
