Velvet Crush

There’s something captivating about deep, velvety reds, which look opulent in both the garden and the vase. Stock 'Murakami Vintage Brown' flowers in early spring with uniquely antique, dusky red blooms. Rudbeckia 'Cherry Brandy' and Daucus 'Purple Kisses' follow, their dark, moody tones adding depth and texture. When Lisianthus 'Celeb 2 Deep Wine' starts blooming mid-summer, its ruffled petals unfold like decadent crushed velvet. These annuals bloom in succession, ensuring a long-lasting display of rich, sophisticated colors, perfect for those who crave something unique and refined.

When to Plant

The Velvet Crush collection is generally suitable for fall planting in USDA zones 9 and higher (unprotected), and Zones 8 and below with additional protection from a greenhouse, hoop house or frost cloth. Even in zone 9, lisianthus may need protection during extreme lows. In most of the northern and central US it is recommended to wait and plant lisianthus in the early spring. This is strictly a guideline and we cannot guarantee winter survivability.
