    Zn 3. White petals w/ red eye. Long bloomer.

    By: Little Prince of Oregon

    Smaller, icy white blooms with a sharply contrasting, bright fuchsia ring around the medium pink eye zone light up their surroundings. Each of the 5 flower petals have serrated edges, looking as if they have been trimmed with pinking shears, hence the common name 'Pinks'.
