Will this Miniature Achimenes keep flowering?

Achimenes 'Petite Fadette, Buds, Feb 25, 2024



         The common question at garden centers is:  Will this keep flowering?


        Commercial flowering plants are grown to their peak capability of flowering so the homeowner can have a pretty decorative plant to take home.


        Most flowering plants sold in flower have buds that should continue to open in the house.  Some home gardeners give up too soon.


        The Achimenes 'Petite Fadette' growing at my West window has lost its original four red flowers.


        This is my test to see if the three buds at the top will open.


        I'll report what happens.
