| Comments: Crossandra 'Orange Marmalade' - Crossandra infundibuliformis is one of the best Florida Friendly Plants to come out in the last 3 years. It is a reliable perennial in sunny or partially-shaded Florida gardens. It is insect and disease free and blooms in all the warm months of the year. Protect from hard frost and freeze for best year-to-year performance of these long-lived plants. Orange Marmalade is a sterile hybrid that holds its flower petals for several days longer than the older types or seed produced varieties that have exploding seed pods. You will easily notice the major performance difference once you try Orange Marmlade. Use it as a 'FILLER' component in a complimentary container design with flowers that are in the blue shades. Go Gators! You should readily find this at The Home Depot stores in the Warm Season. |
