Description
This selection produces a bouquet of flowers that open intense lemon yellow, then lighten to pastel yellow. New flowers are produced all summer long, providing an array of cheerful yellow color over an extended period of bloom. 'Sunny Seduction' is a notable improvement over 'Moonshine'. Members of the Seduction Series have strong, branched stems with shorter internodes, and a compact habit. Unlike older cultivars with a weaker, open habit, they have a very robust yet compact habit. 18-24" tall.
