Abstract

A unique cultivar of the Spigelia plant named ‘Apple Slices’ is characterized by vigorous, dense, upright, multi-stemmed, winter-hardy habit with dark-green, lanceolate leaves. Flowering begins in early June and continues for about four or five weeks, repeating in the fall. Petals are reddish on the outside and butter yellow with a slight blush of red on the inside. The new plant is especially suitable for a cut flower, for the landscape as a potted plant, and in the garden as a specimen or en masse.
