The plants&#8217; trailing stems spread 10-14 inches in the garden or container, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets and planters. 70 days.<\/p>\n<p>AAS winners are selected from many new cultivars, based on performance in the garden, as well as in the greenhouse. Although no plant offers a guarantee of success in an individual garden, the AAS winners have proven themselves worthy over a broad range of growing conditions. Try these new selections alongside your old standbys so you&#8217;ll have a means of comparison. AAS winners should be available through local garden centers and mail-order catalogs next spring.
