Angel Wings Mixed is a charming annual producing masses of intricate, orchid-like flowers in a beautiful mixture of cream, pink, violet, blue and rose, often splashed, spotted and marked with contrasting colours. Also known as Poor Man’s Orchid or Butterfly Flower, the elaborate blooms are held above delicate, fern-like foliage on compact plants reaching approximately 35 cm tall.
The abundant flowers create a spectacular display in cottage gardens, borders and containers and also make excellent cut flowers. Despite their exotic appearance, plants are relatively easy to grow and flower generously during the cooler months.
Schizanthus prefers mild conditions, fertile, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Plants appreciate protection from strong winds and intense heat, particularly as the weather warms.
