Painted Tongue Mixed
Botanical Name: Salpiglossis sinuata

Painted Tongue ‘Mixed’ is a spectacular blend of velvety, trumpet-shaped flowers in rich shades of red, purple, gold, and orange, each patterned with intricate veining that gives them their “painted” appearance. A favourite for adding exotic flair to beds and containers, these eye-catching blooms flourish in full sun and flower over a long summer season. Easy to grow and great for cutting, they add drama and colour wherever they’re planted.
