Ready to bloom in about 120 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Plants continue flowering profusely through the season for a long-lasting cascade of bright white blooms.
Elegant, vigorous, and floriferous, ‘Santa Barbara’ is an excellent choice for hanging baskets, containers, patio displays, and ornamental plantings.
