Title: Longest-lasting blooms?
Post by: capt-j on July 14, 2013, 05:48:41 PM
Hello

I am already starting my list of HVH plants for my next order, but was wondering which cultivars everyone has found to have the longest lasting blooms.  I have Cindy's Heart at the top of my list so far.

Suggestions for Galveston Texas - hot and humid, rarely freezes  ? ? ?

Thanks

JBS

Bright Hope, Secret Heart, Sea of Tranquility, and Hollywood Starlet are some of the more long lasting blooms in my garden. James Bond just bloomed for the first time but still looks real good after 48 hours so it may belong in that group as well.

I forgot to include Velvet Illusion with the other long lasting blooms.

Illuminati and Sea Spray also belong on the long lasting list.
