Our premium salpiglossis seeds feature stable germination rate and neat upright bushy growth habit. Commonly named Painted Tongue, its botanical name is Salpiglossis sinuata. This special flower attracts gardeners with gorgeous funnel-shaped blossoms marked with intricate contrasting vein stripes in rich shades of purple, red, gold, yellow and bronze. The whole flower looks like hand-painted velvet, bringing extraordinary texture and color layering to flower arrangements.
Salpiglossis prefers mild cool climates and cannot withstand sustained high-temperature sweltering weather. It blooms abundantly from late spring through early summer, with sporadic flowering continuing into early autumn under shaded cool conditions. Widely applied for formal flower bed mass planting, mixed border matching, container pot cultivation and high-grade fresh cut flower bouquets with excellent lasting performance in vases. It grows best in loose, fertile, humus-rich well-drained loam soil and is sensitive to waterlogged roots. Daily work mainly includes regular moderate watering, timely deadheading of faded flowers and ventilation to prevent fungal diseases, which makes it a distinctive choice for seasonal landscaping and beginner flower lovers.
