Better Overall Performance

This new introduction has dramatically increased genetic stability, resolving the somaclonal variation issues previously seen in the original variety and allowing for greater consistency across the supply chain.

Supertunia^® Bordeaux^™ II bears slightly lighter lavender blooms than the original variety, but with the same dark throat and veining.  Sometimes, the flowers of Supertunia Bordeaux II will be accented by a faint white picotee margin.
