'Loads of Fun' is just that, an extra fun combination of some absolute winners: Catalina® Pink (Torenia), Rockapulco® Purple (Double Impatiens), and Endless™ Illumination (Browallia). It's the perfect selection of colors for both spring and summer, and the way the habits of these varieties mesh together create a truly stunning visual experience.
- 8-20 inches tall and spread up to 8-24 inches at maturity
- Plant in part to full shade (4+ hours daily)
- Annual except in zones 10-11
We recommend planting this combination in 10”-12" containers. They will fill out the entire planter, although a light trim in early July will encourage even more branching!
The 'Loads of Fun' Combination adds instant impact all on its own. There is no easier way to bring quick color to your outdoor containers! If you're interested in using the Thriller, Filler, Spiller container planting technique, our 6.5 Combinations are the perfect Filler. You can use additional Thrillers and Spillers to enhance the look but do be sure to increase your container size to at least 14"-16" allowing for better root growth and increased airflow which decreases disease pressure in the planter.
Suggested Thrillers: Unplugged® So Blue™ (Salvia), Angelface® Wedgwood Blue Summer Snapdragon (Angelonia), or Truffula™ Pink (Gomphrena)
Suggested Spillers: Proven Accents® Tricolor (Ipomoea), Proven Accents® Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Lime (Ipomoea), or Silver Falls™ (Dichondra)
Care: Deadheading isn't necessary but removing spent blooms isn't harmful if you want to clean the plants. This combination is very easy to care for- provide the plants with a shady location, give them a bit of fertilizer and don't let them dry out too much and they will be happy campers. They shouldn't need to be trimmed back but can be pruned to shape them at any time. If they get too tall, you can cut them back to promote additional branching and a more compact habit. Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best growth and color. These extra applications of plant food really make a difference in performance through the summer!
