A beauty from down under

Isotoma Fizz ’n Pop™ ‘Glowing Violet’ is a new variety of laurentia featuring nectar-rich blooms, making these a must-have for any pollinator campaign.

Petals on the 1½-inch flowers are nearly three times larger than the straight species. The five-petal flowers shine in numerous garden settings with their iridescent violet-purple tones and bright yellow eyes. This exciting new selection flowers from July through October.

Flowers dance atop cut feathery mid-green foliage with a tight, compact and rounded habit that grows up to 12 inches by 12 inches. No PGRs are needed during production.

Because this is an Australian native, it’s perfect for low-water use landscapes and it can take the heat, once established.
With its vibrant color, ability to attract pollinators and drought tolerance, this plant offers solutions to three major marketing points. There’s a lot of sell-through opportunity with this plant, which will be available in the retail market in 2016. Growers interested in being a licensed grower may contact PlantHaven at
