Apple of Peru

I’m absolutely smitten with this foliage and honestly use it in as many bouquets & arrangements as I can. Plants are tall, easy to grow and packed with long branching stems in a rich deep green. Flowers are a gorgeous blue and when petals fall the show isn’t over as they turn into a really fun green pod. This foliage adds so much depth, texture and dimension to any arrangement. Give this one a try in your garden and I know you’re gonna love it as much as I do.

Planting: Start your seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date. 100 days to maturity

Harvesting: Stems are ready to be cut once pods are formed. It is best to harvest during the coolest time of the day.
