On Gardening: Bermuda Beach shines in November garden

I’ve never met a Bermuda Beach I didn’t like. I’m teasing a little: I’ve never been to Bermuda, but I’m sure I’d love its beaches, too! What I am referring to is the award-winning Supertunia Bermuda Beach petunia. I was in California at the Pack Trials about 20 years ago when it made its debut and for sure it brought out the cameras. Then a few years ago Proven Winners came out with the Supertunia Bermuda Beach II. It was big, bold and decidedly different in color. I fell madly in love with it, but I suppose the color gurus and PW brass felt uncomfortable. So, it is gone. The Garden Guy hopes they will bring it back and give it a new name. kAmqFE E96 3C6656CD 92G6 9:E 2 9@>6CF? H:E9 $FA6CEF?:2 q6C>F52 q6249 xxx] x A=2?E65 >:?6 :? pAC:= E96? AC@466565 E@ 82C56?
