So many blooms

Last year, I ordered 3 plants and put them in 1 container. The plants were so full. This year I decided to plant them in their own pots and they have grown so big. Lots of blooms. The bees and hummingbirds love them. Stunning on my deck.

Stunning plant!

This arrived packaged beautifully. It was in perfect condition with buds. Looks beautiful hanging with the brilliant color. I am pleased.

Beautiful Plant

Very pretty, my only problem is I only ordered one and should have ordered 3 to fill the pot I was putting it in.

Stunning!

Bought the Royale Red along with the Neon Rose. Stunning combination. I highly recommend the Petochas.
