Soto Classic - Shade - Wide
Timeless and elegant, Soto Classic combines formal structure and soft blooms. This collection will complement any outside space and has been designed to sit in both urban and rural spaces. The multi tones of the green foliage create a sense of depth and the purple flowers are loved by pollinators.
