Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A compact little guy carrying very nice white flowers which benefit from extra petals giving it a little more floral punch. If you can manage extra petals and no one complains, then why not? We all need an edge. Mulch in winter and decent drainage and feel free to plant it in a very sunny hot spot.
