A spectacular new fragrant variety of begonia which makes the ideal hanging basket plant. It produces an abundance of scented double flowers in white with soft pink accents during the summer months.Â
This plant is a great solution for shade! Shade gardeners love begonias for their elegant, colorful blossoms but have long wished they possessed that once-elusive trait—a pleasant fragrance. Double Delight™ Appleblossom begonia exudes a sweet citrus-like fragrance from its large, abundant, white and soft pink bicolor blossoms on cascading stems. It performs well in full sun in the Northeast; southern growers will need to provide some afternoon shade. Increased sun tolerance makes this begonia versatile for use in containers, hanging baskets, window boxes and monoculture containers.Â

The large blossoms open lemon yellow and transition to a vibrant pink, with both colors continuously present at once on the plant. Its fully mounded habit results in fabulous containers, but this colorful calibrachoa is also easy to mix with other annuals in container recipes. Like all Superbells, it blooms continuously all season without deadheading.

Superbena® verbenas are vigorous, strongly trailing plants with large, showy flower clusters. They’re ideal for containers, combination planters as spillers, and as colorful ground cover at the front of garden beds.
Superbena® Stormburst stands out for its playful striped blooms. While bred for consistent patterns, some flowers may naturally shift to solid violet or white over time. This variation is harmless—simply trim affected stems if you prefer a uniform look, or enjoy the change.

Laguna® lobelias are loved for their airy blooms that knit together all the plants in container recipes. What you’ll notice is different about Laguna Royale lobelias is that their shape is denser, rounder and a bit smaller overall. That makes them even better for use as edging along sunny pathways, in rock and crevice gardens, in smaller containers and window boxes. Regardless of which form you choose, you can count on all Laguna lobelias to have better heat tolerance than most, which extends their bloom time further into the summer in addition to their stellar spring and fall performance.
Laguna® Royale Azure lobelia bears medium blue blooms.

If you’ve enjoyed Supertunia Vista® Jazzberry®, you’ll also love this cool orchid pink selection that grows just as large and vigorously, but in a softer color that pairs well with other pastels, purples and white. It forms a sizable, upright spreading mound that becomes blanketed in blooms from planting time through the first frost without deadheading. Since Supertunia Vista petunias are such big plants, they are ideal for growing in landscapes where you won’t need many to fill a large space, but they can also work well in large hanging baskets and upright containers if kept watered.
