Salpiglossis
(Painted
tongue) This is a wonderful plant. The British-bred
Royale Series in ten colours has followed on from
the Casino Series in bringing salpiglossis out from
the greenhouse and into the garden in British and
similarly cool conditions. Occasionally in damp
summers the flowers may be marked by rainspots but
new flowers keep coming. In warmer climbers they're
stunnng. Also known as 'Royale Chocolate', the sumptous
colouring of 'Chocolate Pot' is new in salpiglossis
and is marvellous with dark-leaved dahlias like
'David Howard' or with silver foliage. ©copyright
