Surely,
such an extraordinary plant deserves a more lyrical cultivar name than
'Shredded White Fantasy'! This floral fantasy was discovered in the
Mexican state of Veracruz and is a root-hardy perennial in San Antonio.
Individual flowers can last up to 5 days in cloudy weather and age from
pale golden yellow to ivory to snow white. The bloom at lower right
is 8 inches from top to bottom and 7 inches wide. Grows to 8' to
12' high in strong dappled light to half-day sun locations. Looks
best if given a deep watering every week during a dry summer, but can survive
with less.
(Feed with 5 Agriform
21-gram,
2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.) |
