Lets Its Petals Do the Talking

One of the newest ‘stars’ of the garden, Evening Star is covered with cool, lavender-blue flowers featuring a yellow star pattern and a deep purple throat. This long blooming Superbell flowers from early spring to late autumn and is both heat and drought tolerant and requires no deadheading. Its mounding and trailing habit makes it the perfect choice as a spiller in baskets and containers or planted in the landscape. Evening Star does best in part to full sun conditions and reaches a height of 6-12 inches with a spread from 12–24 inches. Be sure to check out this beautiful, new addition to the Proven Winners Superbells® Star collection.

Associate helped me pick the right planter, fertilized him, and topped with decorative rocks. All for an incredibly reasonable price and caring smiles.
