Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We were suspicious at first but now after watching it for two years, we determined the flowers actually are larger than the regular 'Alba'. However, the size does depend on how its grown. They like a well drained soil, but not too dry in summer. Excellent cut flowers. May bloom all winter in zones 8+.
