Achimene Peach Blossom is a soft pink flowering variety, with a deepe pink kiss in each flower's center. This is one of the best bloomers, producing a generous number of flowers on gently trailing plants. Peach Blossom achimenes bloom June through mid to late autumn and are a great choice for hanging baskets sited in a sheltered location.
