Title

'Peach Kisses' is a floral masterpiece, draped in waves of tubular, apricot-pink blossoms that seem to glow against a backdrop of lush, deep green foliage. Unlike traditional varieties that bloom only once, this reblooming beauty offers a spectacular show from late spring all the way through autumn. Its compact, tidy, and naturally rounded form makes it look like a perfectly placed garden accent, providing a continuous "fizz" of soft, romantic colour that elevates any outdoor space with zero effort.

  • Location Tips: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot; handles urban pollution well.

Care:

  • Light Requirements: Full sun to partial shade; at least 6 hours of direct sunlight is best for maximum flower production.
  • Moisture Requirements: Prefers consistent, medium moisture; do not let the soil dry out completely.
  • Maintenance: Low maintenance; no deadheading required, though a light trim after the first bloom can encourage more flowers.
  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.

Tolerances:

Tolerates clay soil, urban pollution, and cold temperatures down to -34°C (-30°F).

Tips For Success:

Prune immediately after the first spring flowering to maintain shape and maximize the summer/fall rebloom. Mulch to retain moisture.
