ORANGE HEARTS
'                         Home
 
 Orange Hearts much resembles the other Polyanthas but a mature bush produces absolutely huge sprays of 20-30 blooms per.  The initial spring flush absolutely covers the bush and never fails to attract attention.  The plant is vigorous but seems to be only average in resistance to black spot.   Like many other "polys" the fungus is there in a non-spray situation but generally is not a problem for the plant.  If you look at the picture here you'll see the black spot as bad as it usually gets.  In a normal spray program I wouldn't expect any problems at all.   Blooms are average size for a poly and while not "perfume" fragrant, do have a slight smell to my nose.  Good stock for the 2008 season.
