Originally
hybridized in
Europe for florist-
quality flowers,
Cityline®
Mars has
large 6” bicolor
blooms that can
be deep pink
and white or
blue and white
or a combination
of these colors depending on the pH of your soil. If your soil has a neutral or
alkaline pH, then you’ll get more pink and white flowers unless you add pH
lowering additives like aluminum sulfate. This compact plant only grows 24-36”
tall so it makes a beautiful flowering specimen for the front of a garden bed or
walkway. It blooms on old wood so it will take one year after planting to bloom.
The dramatic flowers can be cut for long-lasting floral arrangements or dried to
create sensational crafts.
