Plant Characteristics
  • Size: Compact and bushy, growing roughly 25 to 30 cm tall with a similar spread, making them ideal for small pots and patio containers.
  • Blooms: Large, densely packed double flowers with contrasting dark green foliage.
  • Bloom Time: Late summer until autumn (typically September to October).
  • Hardiness: Generally suited for USDA Zones 4 through 8 (Zone 3 for some varieties).
    • Popular Varieties in the Series
  • Showmakers® Magenta: Deep, dark magenta pom-pom blooms.
  • Showmakers® Blue Bayou: Vibrant violet-blue, double-petaled flowers.
  • Showmakers® Arctic White: Bright white petals with a contrasting yellow center.
    • Care & Growing Requirements
  • Light: Thrives best in an open, full-sun position.
  • Soil: Prefers moist, fertile, and well-drained soil.
  • Maintenance: Good air circulation helps prevent mildew. Pinching back the tips of the stems early in the summer can encourage an even tighter, more uniform mound of flowers
