indicates an EHR top pick HGTV & You The HGTV Plants program has been around for a couple of years now, but required a large commitment from retailers and was only available from a very limited number of growers. HGTV has announced that starting in 2017 retailers can grow their own HGTV plants from liners bought from EuroAmerican. It is still recommended that a retailer get enough to make a showy display, but they are not required to buy any minimum quantity. Wholesale growers that want to offer the program are welcome to buy in now too. Adenophora ‘Gaudi Violet’ Bred in Poland, this adenophora requires no vernalization to flower its first year. Its masses of blue bell flowers will hang down from 18" spikes with green foliage. They will bloom from June to fall and are heat and humidity tolerant. Hardy zones 4-9.

'Upright Salmon' has the same heat tolerance and good branching as 'Upright Fire' and 'Upright White'. Not the best choice for hanging baskets because of the size and habit, growing 28-30” tall.
