New From Skagit Gardens
April 17, 2009 
Here’s the scoop on two new annuals introductions from Skagit Gardens.
Snapdragon ‘Eternal’
Clusters of large pink flowers appear on ‘Eternal’ with a touch of orange in the center. Those colors are prominent against its green and white foliage. The plant’s distinctively bushy habit sets it apart from other snapdragons.
Reaching a height of 12 to 18 inches, ‘Eternal’ thrives in full sun with well drained but moist soil. It is frost tolerant and probably hardy to 0°F. ‘Eternal’ will bloom all summer, and it works well for borders, beds and containers.
Cuphea Border Series
Two cupheas, ‘Magenta Border’ and ‘Southern Border’ make up Skagit’s Border Series. ‘Magenta Border’ has bright magenta flowers, reaches a height of 6 inches and a spread of 15 inches. ‘Southern Border’ develops light violet blooms, reaches 8 inches in height and spreads 18 inches.
The Border series is unique because of its finely textured foliage, lots of blossom throughout the summer and a tidy, overall appearance.
