A popular cultivar, with cheerful bundles of flowers from late July to late August. Florets are shell pink with a purple magenta eye, enhanced by very darkly pigmented buds and foliage. Compared to 'Bright Eyes', this cultivar has larger pips with a larger eye zone and a slightly peachier-pink. Of medium height, it fits well into any perennial border. Floriferous, and a constant favorite here at the nursery.
