Agsm. Blue Butterfly (Aganesia cyanea x Menadenium labiosum)
MH2281-3
We originally purchased this plant for the group in 2007. It has done so well for so many people, we have decided to make them available again.
For plants that don’t need a season to bloom, try this one! We selected a plant from our first batch, and it is now in a 5" pot. It blooms continuously throughout the year, with just a short break in between. Flowers are long-lasting and bloom mostly during the fall through spring seasons. Flowering size in 2.25" pots.
The above 1 plant will be available at the meeting at the Jardin Botanico on Saturday, April 26. It is being sold alone for $9.
