Small Smithiantha

Both 'Designer's Best Wishes' and 'Designer's Sunshower' are small/compact growers but featuring different hereditary appearance, so I keep them both every year as the candidates in my hybrid works. They may help to develop a series of smaller Smithiantha based on their compact foliage and dense inflorescence.
