It produces a large, flat-shaped flower with broad petals. The color is a delicate hydrangea pink which changes, as the flower ages, to a creamy white. Many of the central petals, and sometimes the guards have minute dark charming flecks on the tips. This flower creates a wonderful effect in the field or garden. It is essentially a garden flower as it shows up best on the plant. Its color is very pleasing in itself but this combined with the wonderful attractiveness of its form makes of it an outstanding variety as it opens on the plant in your garden.
