Blooms of the Season: Plant Sale Edition I

Blooms of the Season: Plant Sale Edition I

Posted September 14, 2013 07:35h in Garden Plants by Becky Robert 0 Comments

To continue our Blooms of the Season series, Diane Mattis has been diligently collecting Plant Sale plants and their complimentary plants from the garden this spring and summer. Her newest scan features Plant Sale plant Hydrangea arborescens Invincibelle Spirit^TM. Looking wonderful in the garden at the same time as Invincibelle Spirit^TM were Athyrium nipponicum ‘Pictum’ and Salvia ‘Wendy’s Wish’.

Invincibelle Spirit^TM is the first pink version of the popular ‘Annabelle’. The massive mophead blooms reach 6 to 8 inches in diameter and mature from dark pink buds to hot pink flowers, fading to a soft pink and providing a show from early summer to frost.

Pick up your own Invincibelle Spirit^TM at the Scott Associates Plant Sale on September 20 to 22, 2013.
