Introduced in 1980, Pinocchio is named for the puppet in the children's classic story by Carlo Collodi (1826-1890). 'Pinocchio' grows eight to fourteen inches high, averaging somewhere in the middle, with large blooms for its height. It likes plenty of sun but does equally well in light shade. On cloudy days or in partial shade they do not open completely, but they are very attractive even folded up, with a nice color arrangement. Catalog and other commercialized photographs (like most flowers) are usually enhanced to intensify color extremes! Quite often the people buying from such exaggerated pictures are surprised when they see the 'real thing'. This cultivar is very, very hardy and dependable; It has grown here for at least 10 years, and is still robust and floriforous. Even though it's natural appearance is far from the enhanced photos, it is very, very attractive: Great performer!
