Creamy-beige flowers with dark cherry centers make this a dreamy addition to your cut-flower garden and floral arrangements. Pollinators and hummingbirds are drawn to the quick-to-bloom, fragrant blossoms. Blooming may pause in intense summer heat, to renew in the cooler days of late summer and fall. In cooler areas, blooms continue through the summer. A 2009 Fleuroselect Novelty Award Winner. Deer resistant.
