Parentage: ['Texas White' (canadensis var. texensis) x 'Forest Pansy' (canadensis)] F2 Description: Selected for its attractive shiny purple leaf color and semi-upright growth habit, in contrast to the open, spreading habit of 'Forest Pansy'. Leaves of 'Merlot' are also smaller and thicker than those of 'Forest Pansy', and maintain their attractive appearance well into the latter part of the growing season. 'Merlot' has excellent branching and dense growth, and is shorter in stature than 'Forest Pansy'. Flowering is prolific, and flower color is an attractive reddish-purple. Trials of 'Merlot' and 'Forest Pansy' in various testing locations have shown superior heat tolerance of 'Merlot' as compared to 'Forest Pansy', typical of its "texensis" parent. | ||||
