스위트피 '솔스티스 크림슨'

I planted these in early November and was thrilled to see flowers by late January—the short-day breeding really delivers. The deep crimson color holds up well even through some frosty nights.

These bloomed beautifully in my winter greenhouse when everything else was still just leaves. The shorter day length trait is exactly what I needed for a December flower display.

Planted these in early fall and they bloomed beautifully even as the days got shorter—the color is a deep, rich crimson that stands out against the fading garden. Sturdy stems held up through several light frosts, too.
