Four Star Greenhouse Inc.
Hummingbirds will line up to visit Vermillionaire Cuphea from Four Star Greenhouse. This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant beauty features deep orange tubular flowers that sit on well-branched, mounding plants. Vermillionaire is a southern annual that does well everywhere, loves the sun and thrives where heat and humidity are abundant. It stands between 18 to 28 in. and can be a great addition for gardeners, tolerating higher amounts of water and fertilizer, yet not prone to Oedema.
Sun Gro Horticulture
Sunshine, Fafard and Metro Mix professional mixes containing Resilience are now available. These patented growing mixes enriched with silicon create thicker, stronger stems; improved root mass and structure; increased drought tolerance; enhanced shelf life; less shrinkage and increased resistance to insects and diseases. When supplemented with silicon-enriched nutrients, plants recover better from less-than-perfect watering, which gives them a longer shelf life. The denser, more compact growth of plants grown in Resilience helps growers save space and reduce their need for plant growth regulators.
