Angel's Trumpet Ballerina Mix
Long-blooming and SO floriferous!
This mix contains three softly-colored colors: purple-and-white, solid white, and primrose-yellow. All the blooms are double, simply enormous, and so fragrant you'll think you've stepped into the garden of your dreams . . . as perhaps you have!
The plant is quite compact in containers, reaching only about a foot high and 3 feet wide. In the garden, it forms a dense, well-branched shrub 3 feet tall and slightly wider. Beginning in early summer and continuing until the fall weather sets in, the plant is covered with magnificent blooms, so fragrant that a single plant perfumes the garden! Large, very attractive fruits follow the blooms, and should be cut for splendid accents to fresh and dried arrangements.
If you live north of zone 9 and want to grow Ballerina in the garden as an annual, wait to plant it until the soil is thoroughly warm in spring. (I prefer the freedom of containers so that I can rearrange them on the patio all summer long!) Wherever you plant it, keep it there; transplant will slow its growth and shorten its bloomtime. Not fussy about soil, Angel's Trumpet asks only for plenty of sun. Pkt is 10 seeds. Zones 9-11.
