Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Super ruffly, double primrose-yellow blooms look like the edges have been trimmed with pinking shears! Boasting a delightfully spicy clove scent, an abundance of flowers appear late Spring thru Fall above attractive blue-green foliage. Growing up to 2’ high and 1’ wide, it’s lovely edging a bed or planted in a container (5+ gal). A true cottage garden classic and a must-have plant for the cuttings garden - providing endless long-stemmed blooms for fragrant flower arrangements. Attracts butterflies! Provide good drainage for a healthy plant and cut back in late Fall for best growth. Evergreen in warm Winter areas.
