I grow 'Pia' in a large faux terra cotta pot. It's been beautiful this
year, blooming it's head off and making a neat tidy bush to boot. It has
huge heads, mine are a deep rose pink. It's in Pro-mix and aside from
Osmacote 14-14-14 I haven't done anything to dink with the color. I rather
like the tone now. I've picked a couple of ther heads that have started to
go over, getting dusky pink in color with some greenish tones to individual
floets. Quite pretty.
