Each flower has a light, clean yellow center radiating out towards a gorgeous lilac edge that only deepens color with age. Creates an overall pop of warm, incandescent color. Hardy breeding with increased mildew resistance creates a long-lasting favorite for a sunny garden. Favorite of bees and other pollinators.
