New Varieties:

Echibeckia Summerina Butterscotch Biscuit from Pacific Plug & Liner has bold butter yellow and orange two-toned flowers with a light-colored eye, making this variety the brightest in the series. Flowers are giant-sized, getting upwards of 6 inches in diameter, making Butterscotch Biscuit the largest flower size in the series. This variety runs on the more aggressive side and is best suited for larger containers such as 1.5 to 2 gallon and large deco containers. The bloom time for Butterscotch Biscuit is late, so it is great for late summer to fall season sales, and will be available for the 2017 summer to fall retail season.
