B. ‘Richmondensis’

SOME OLDER FAVORITES by Bob Hamm, Wichita Falls, Texas B. 'Richmondensis' is for anyone who wants to grow a large basket, and have a strong vigorous plant that grows rapidly and blooms well. When given room in its pot and a good supply of dilute fertilizer it will grow to goodly proportions in a very short time. Its blooms are light pink in shade, almost red in sunlight, and it requires a greater amount of sun than many. This makes it a good choice for outdoor baskets. However, for those with limited space this is one that will require pruning back or starting a new basket, each fall when bringing it indoors. It roots easily from cuttings.
