Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large white star-shaped flowers with a dramatic burgundy eye cover this 12 x 12" mound for months (starting in early summer and going until fall), since the flowers are sterile, they keep blooming with no deadheading; these butterfly magnets are perfect for borders, containers and rock gardens, good deer resistance too!

Especially large, white flowers with a burgundy star-shaped eye are produced for several months beginning in early summer, with the eye expanding to cover more of the petal surface in cooler temperatures. Since the flowers are sterile, they just keep on coming all season long without the need for deadheading.

By: Noname Nursery

A dwarf selection from breeder Darrel Probst with very large, creamy flowers with burgundy centres turning to a rosy pink colour in cooler temperatures. The foliage is dense and wiry. Long blooming. Great in pots or the front of the border.
