Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An unusual form of a perennial garden favorite with large finely dissected flower petals in a mix of white pink purple and red in summer. 10 to 12 inches tall and wide. Full sun and average moisture. Hardy to USDA zone 5.
Magical fringy-feathered, elongated petals hang like colored lace in shades of white, pink, rose and lavender, moving like undersea creatures in the breeze from June to September. Blooms are lightly fragrant and top 10-12” stems on mounded plants equally wide. Narrow foliage is a pleasing blue green. Average garden soil, water when dry in a sunny spot. Interesting as a cut flower, lovely at the front of the border, rock gardens and in pots.
