Super Sunpatiens! And the giant Salvia!

Greeting from the Metrolina Trial Garden. Temperatures continue to be very un-summer like and most plants continue to thrive.

SUPER SUNPATIENS:
Sunpatiens always do well in the garden and this year is no different. The 3 new colors of Sunpatiens from Sakata have been great garden performers all season. The Hot Coral and PInk Flash are incredible. Compact Red is nice but often gets some flower scorch.

Giant Salvia!!

Salvia Brazilian Purple from Athena Brazil  has to be the largest plant we have ever tested in the garden. This plant is currently over 6 feet tall!! It doesn't have a massive color show for its size but there are plenty of butterfly and bee attracting flowers. This is definitely a single plant show case item.
