>> Pinto de Blue

1996 Breneman / Antonelli (USA)
(data by AFS*)
Trailer, Double

Pinto de Blue bears one large flower at each leaf axil. The tubes is white, as are swept-back sepals which are tinged with pink on the undersides and green at the tips.The corolla is dark violet, maturing to magenta as shown below.

Growth is a bit wayward. If you wish to grow as a bush and to control the plant in a limited space (and you don't like to be controlled by the plant), training at earlier stages with supports might be required. Stopping date: 11 weeks.

Unfortunately Pinto de Blue is not heat-resistant enough and requires a lot of care in hot-humid climates in Japan. It is, however, a spectacular cultivar and definitely a feast for your eyes.
