This award winning selection was breed to perform even in cooler climates. It is one of the strongest growing cultivars. Each stem is packed with numerous buds giving it superb flower power.

You'll also appreciate it's sister White Chiffon.  Hybridized by Dr. Roderick Woods of England.

What people are saying ...

I just love this plant. It has bloomed since I planted it in May and has not stopped. I even accidentally broke a branch off of it and it is still growing. I am looking forward to buying more in different colors as well as the same color for my yard. I have recommended this plant to several people. The flowers are so large and beautiful color. Very easy to grow. - Sally, MO, Zone 5
