BETH’S BLUE®
AND PATTI’S PINK
An outstanding, heat tolerant addition to the Proven Winners ®
assortment. Great for early cool conditions, and then can
be brought into bloom by bringing into warmer production
conditions. Once vernalized, BETH’S BLUE ® puts on a show
of airy, blue-lavender flowers all Summer. PATTI’S PINK pairs
perfectly with BETH’S BLUE ® , with slightly larger, pink flowers
that don’t require vernalization to bloom.

occurs when plants receive 12 weeks of cool conditions.

disease pressure.

PGRs should not be needed.
