HorbenTightly packed petals on these macrophylla blooms make Horben a great choice for sturdy, cut flowers. Horben could thrive in full sun in mild climates with plenty of moisture, though it does best in partial shade. Adding to these already favorable characteristics is the plant's free flowering abilities and is one of the first varieties to bloom in the spring. Can be grown as a purple, pink, or blue variety depending on soil pH.
