This dwarf hybrid spider flower gives you armloads of blooms over a very long season on plants that don't exceed 4 feet tall. The butterflies and hummingbirds will be delighted, and so will you.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSparkler Blush offers big, 4- to 6-inch spidery blooms of light pink brushed with white. They hold well on the plant and are wonderfully long-lasting as cut flowers. The dark green foliage is narrow and stylish, too, making an attractive back drop for the big, fluffy blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis plant begins flowering in early summer (as soon as the hot weather arrives) and doesn't quit until the temperature drops in fall. A sun lover, it is at home in the baking-hot border, bed, or patio, and once established is quite tolerant of dry conditions. (Water it well during growth, though, to get it off to a good start.) It rapidly reaches 3½ to 4 feet tall and about 1 foot wide, with a bushy fullness that adds weight to its presence as an accent, low hedge, poolside planting, or mid-border standout.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSo revolutionary is Sparkler's dwarf habit that it received an AAS Award. And if you want other colors to offset this gentle blush-pink, try Sparkler White, Lavender, or Rose. There is even a mix of all 4, plus an economical collection that gives you a packet of each separate color, for patterning in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCleome is a good companion to spreading petunias in the sun-soaked bed or border. The unusual silvery Tidal Wave would make an excellent companion. Or, for low-growing coverage, try a spread of portulaca pastels. Stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTolerant of extreme heat, it is very uniformly sized and floriferous. In other words, a rare find. Start indoors in late winter or directly in the garden when the soil is warm enough to be workable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42354579603515,"sku":"00570-PK-P1","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_00570-PK-P1_1.jpg?v=1753891713","url":"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/products\/sparkler-blush-spider-flower-seeds-00570-pk-p1","provider":"Park Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
