TATTOO™ SERIES (PVPAF) Watch art come alive on every bloom with petals that look like they are inked or airbrushed with soft strokes of black. These standout newcomers de- liver what today’s gardener really looks for – flowers that are bold, fun and head- turning! Well branched plants are very flo- riferous and display one-of-a-kind flowers with an overlapping, fully rounded form that won’t show gaps in hot temperatures. Blooms display the best color contrast under warm conditions with higher light. Grown under cooler conditions and lower light, colors appear darker overall with less contrast. An excellent performer in hot and sunny conditions. Spreads 6 to 8”. 10-14”. Annual
Prices, per variety: (V) 100 seeds $7.95; 3 or more $7.50 each (W) 500 seeds $32.95; 2 or more $30.50 each
