Professional Growing Information 
This plant is soft and airy and lent such a great pop of white to the other very colorful flowers. It really stood out among the asiatic lillies, salvia and the geraniums and other annual flowers. Excellent addition to my garden. Looking to purchase more in the future as I find them in the nurseries, as right now they are gone for this season.

Love this plant. Got it last year at Telly’s Greenhouse introduction of new plants seminar. The first year from a 4” pot the plant was 12x12 at the end of the season. This year it returned even bigger. It bloomed for many weeks.
