Large brightly colored flowers contrast nicely with rich, dark green foliage. Medium vigor plants with sturdy root systems are well-behaved in the greenhouse and strong performers in the garden. A long proven history of superior performance.

Tango® Dark Red is a new variety that offers a great deep dark red color. This variety is a bit more compact than the others in the series. Tango® Dark Red is similar to Samba.

  • Compact line - one early Florel spray is generally all that is needed.
  • Keep media pH levels above 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.
  • Best choice for small containers and tight bench spaces.
