Salpiglossis
sinuata
‘Chocolate Royale’
“Painted Tongue”
Quick to grow and flower Salpiglossis,
or “Painted Tongue”, is one of the old-time, favorite, showy annuals
for the garden. Luckily for us, someone, somewhere has separated
out the rich, maroony-chocolate color. Gorgeous, velvety chocolate
blooms have darker veins that look like they were painted by an
artist’s hand. These plants are not sprayed with growth regulators,
so they will reach their natural height of 2’-3’ with lots of
branching, and produce a great profusion of flowers. Excellent
cut flower! Rich soil is best. Nice in pots too!
