Royal Alexander is adored by all gardeners who choose it. The velvety trumpet flower is striking and one-of-a-kind, sporting beautiful deep purple and golden hues marbled with red undertones. The dark veining produces a majestic stained glass effect when backlit by the sun. This plant can bloom floriferously but require deadheading to promote repeat blooming. Not just gorgeous in pretty much any garden application, Royal Alexander makes an excellent a cut flower.
