Description

The large amount of flamboyant color on this species creates a wonderful accent in a garden. Varieties can be in bush or vine form; colors vary. Once established, they tend to be carefree. All varieties are susceptible to frost damage. Be careful of this for inland locations. 'Torch Grow' grows up to 6' tall and produces deep magenta blooms with tiny white flowers in the center and is surrounded by light green, crisp looking foliage.
