A flower so popular they have their own national society!If you love the exotic garden style, these are for you. Giant blooms with layers deep purple of petals that form billowing skirts of colour hang elegantly from relaxed stems, making you the envy of the neighbourhood from mid-summer through to the first frosts in late autumn. The rich pink sepals hug the dark petals like a compassionate friend.These popular plants are sensational in hanging baskets where the laid-back flowers drape over the sides and hanging below the basket like an exquisite chandelier in the dining hall of a prince. Whilst they wonderful on their own, we love to pair them with coleus, lobelia or angel wing begonias to create a display that passing butterflies will struggle to resist. These half-hardy perennials should be grown in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil and sheltered from cold winds.
