SuperCal Petchoa is (mostly) Super Nice!

SuperCal Petchoa from Sakata have been bred for their garden performance. We have several in the garden this year that have been doing very well.

First up is is the most stunning of the group SuperCal Violet. This is just a mass of color!

We have two "glow" colors that are spilling over the side of the bed. Super Cal Salmon Glow has the most color right now and probably could fill the whole bed by itself.



SuperCal Salmon is similar and has a very good habit but is a little weaker at the moment in color. I think gardeners would be happy though with the habit.



Supercal Neon Rose/Yellow Throat is another new one. It has filled the bed and has lots of color. It does have a little foliage browning in the canopy. It has been out since August and survived some massive storms and is flowering just great!

SuperCal Cherry Improved is definitely improved. It has bright, bright red (well ok Cherry) colored flowers and very nice foliage.

The one
disappointment in the SuperCal department is Grape. This plant was stunning in the last June rating (a 4) but died off sometimes after. I won't share the picture of the empty plot now but will show the June Photo off the website.


The perennial of the week is a Rose from EuroAmerican called Sunbelt Desmond Tutu. This plant has great flower show and clean foliage (where is the rust? There is none) looks to be a great garden winner.
