This selection features single petals of an unusual salmon pink, subtly streaked with red. Medium in size, it forms a low mound of deeply cut green leaves, with upright flower spikes appearing in early summer. Absolutely wonderful as a cut flower. Remove spent flower stalks at the base to encourage a new set of shorter blooms in autumn.
