The Masterpiece Blue with Eye checks many boxes for garden center shoppers: it's fairly priced, trendy, and looks great on the bench.

For growers like Kalamazoo Flower Group, it's just as easy to love. The Lobelia variety has a lot of vigor and responds well to plant growth regulators.

The real test? The Masterpiece Blue blooms all season long, not just on trial days.

R2 is excited to introduce the Pentas StreetArt Series from Benary to our 2027 program. Known for its vibrant color, strong branching, and excellent heat tolerance, the StreetArt series delivers outstanding garden performance and continuous blooms throughout the season.

These four StreetArt colors will be offered in our 285-tray size for the 2027 season.

The Pentas StreetArt series is an excellent choice for landscapes, mixed containers, and pollinator-friendly programs, attracting butterflies and adding long-lasting color to summer plantings. Its uniform habit and reliable performance make it a strong addition for growers and retailers seeking premium summer color options.
