An impressively cold hardy fig producing medium-sized amber, brown to near burgundy colored fruit with rich sweet amber flesh. Letizia Fig is sometimes compared to Chicago Hardy with which it shares exceptional hardiness into zone 6 but the fruit may be slightly smaller. It is also known to produce a breba or early crop along with the typical main fruit crop. This is an heirloom Italian fig that was brought from the Marche region of Italy in the early 1900's by the family of Steve and Peg Castorani and was named in honor of Steve's mother Letizia. Steve's family has grown and fruited this plant in Hockessin, Delaware since about 1965 and Steve brought cuttings to their North Creek Nursery near Landenberg, Pennsylvania where it apparently has done well in a semi-protected 'hot garden'. Burpee suggested that they name it and propagate and it quickly sold out. Provide a full to mostly sunny site in a well-drained, average moist, fertile soil for optimum vigor and fruit production. Protect young trees for the first few years especially in zones 8A and colder while they become established. Item# 12727

A vigorous, free flowering powerhouse! The large rounded flower clusters seem to transition through every shade of orange deepening as they age into marmalade and cover the neatly mound forming plants from spring until frost attracting a variety of pollinators. Luscious® Marmalade Lantana is a University of Florida certified seed sterile selection with good vigor and a neatly mounded habit that lends itself to use as a specimen container plant, in mixed company, as well as for easy summer-long color in the sunny garden and landscape. The improved vigor makes the Luscious® Lantana series a better choice as a summer annual than some of the more dwarf varieties especially where the growing season is shorter or cooler. Being sterile means that the plants can spend more energy on flowering instead of fruiting and there is little chance of it escaping in areas where this is a concern. Provide a full to mostly sunny site in a fertile, average moist soil for optimum vigor and continuous flowering. Images courtesy of Proven Winners©, www.provenwinners.com, all rights reserved.
