Grafted onto vigorous Fortuniana rootstock, this exceptional variety delivers larger plants, abundant flowering, and superior heat tolerance, making it an excellent choice for Southern gardens and warm climates.

When budded onto Fortuniana rootstock, Twilight Zone™ develops an exceptionally vigorous root system that promotes faster establishment, improved bloom production, and outstanding resilience in hot, humid conditions.
