A True Original
The buzz about Diamond Frost continues years after its introduction. That's because everything about this near-perfect variety
makes it a winner from its exceptional heat and drought tolerance to its nonstop clouds of airy white blooms. Diamond Frost is an
exceptionally versatile plant because of its texture, colour, and performance. It lights up the landscape when planted in mass, creates
stunning containers all on its own, or provides just the right accent when combined with one, two, three, or
more other Proven Winners varieties.

Notes:
No pinch necessary, but plants can be pinched if desired. Florel is
effective at increasing branching. Plants that are allowed to bulk up
over the winter will flower in the spring of the first season. Those
plants brought in for spring production without vernalization
will not bloom uniformly until the next season.

The hotter the better for this stunning deep-sky-blue bloomer. Its drought, heat, and humidity tolerance makes it an excellent
choice for southern growers. Because it also needs to be protected from even a light frost, northern growers should use care
and not order in too early. Better branched, larger flowered, and more impactful than Blue Daze, Blue My Mind is great in
4.25 Grande and 1.0 Royale containers as well as hanging baskets. New this year.
Growing Tips for BLUE MY MIND
This is a HOT season crop. When night temperatures are below 65,
the plants growth drops off. Also low light levels severely
weaken the growth, so plan to order when you can
meet or exceed these conditions.
Reduce your fertility to 50-75 ppm to avoid high pH
levels. Tough, durable, drought tolerant but
requiring heat Blue My Mind provides a shade
of blue that consumers love!
Needs to be protected from even a light frost.
A good dose of compost or slow-release fertilizer
will improve performance.
Water well during root development and keep
consistently watered for best growth and flowering.
