Thads Tropical Nights


While watering and looking for flower buds. I noticed a flower open on Thads Tropical Nights. Unfortunately, the flower was sterile, no pollen. I was not able to get Silver Skies pollen to stick either. Im not certain if the cross is totally sterile or if it was just this flower. I noticed three other buds on this so Im not giving up just yet. This plant is a monster! I am impressed how quickly it grew ( or outgrew!)into its allotted space. I will give this beautiful plant a hanging basket, instead of selling off cuttings right away. The scarlet red flowers glow on this beauty.
