Nursery contributed plant descriptions

When this cultivar first bloomed in our garden, we were delighted to see such large flowers! A breathtaking contrast of pure white blossoms against handsome, verdant foliage with wine-colored veins creates a presentation even more spectacular than that of 'Climax'. Combine with Origanum 'Ed Carmine' for a showy summer farewell.
