This Week In The Test Garden July 9, 2012


Plant Of The Week


The plant of the week this week is a new Cleome from Danziger. This one color series called Clio ‘Magenta’  (http://www.metrolinagreenhouses.com/testgarden/8538.aspx) has done great in the garden all season. Unlike the current seed propagated ones, this one is from cutting. This added cost is more than made up for by improved performance for the consumer.  This plant has gotten high ratings all season. One feature of this plant is the lack of thorns which are often found on other Cleome. The only down side is there is only one color available.


Thank You
