Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Like the blushed cheeks of an antique porcelain doll, Fata Morgana combines delicate creamy yellow and blush pink in varying amounts, lending an air of elegance to any summer and fall bouquet. It's tough as nails, however, and frost hardy in fall. Sow direct in the garden in early to mid spring and cut to add to bouquets.
