For years, Petunias and the like have ruled the summer bedding scene. They are cheerful, colorful, and easy to grow. But let’s be honest, once the season ends, so do they. Enter AmiRose, a brand-new contender in my self-proclaimed ‘Forever Bedding’ Series that is set to give Petunias a run for their money.
AmiRose Is a ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ Type of Flower
I love a Petunia, but the difference with AmiRose is that it doesn’t get pulled out at the end of summer; it stays put! forever bedding indeed.
This beauty is perennial, meaning it sticks around for years, coming back to perform again and again. It’s like upgrading from a one-hit wonder to a headliner with a world tour, oooer!
Not only does AmiRose flower for five months per year, but it is built for a future. The plants are drought-tolerant, shrugging off dry spells and blooming even better when it’s warmer. Where Petunias wilt and whimper without regular feed and water, AmiRose is more of a ‘keep calm and carry on' type, quietly blooming away while you’re off on holiday.
A Flower That Remembers That Fragrance Matters in Breeding
The blooms also change color as they mature. Imagine a whole bed of blooms in shifting tones, as they move through peach, apricot, and raspberry tones… And then there’s the scent… AmiRose fills the air with a juicy raspberry perfume. Finally, a modern rose that remembers fragrance matters in the breeding program!
AmiRose Is Really Something Different!
From a practical side, AmiRose also knows how to cover the ground. It spreads nicely, like a modern weed blanket, and makes a brilliant choice for landscaping projects. And if you really want to turn heads, pair it with the new big hitter Hydrangea ‘Ground Breaker’. They are the new power couple in the planting world.
Why not give it a try… the AmiRose is really something different and special: a bedding plant rival with staying power, resilience, fragrance, and style.
