Also known as Cupid's Dart, this beautiful, hardy perennial will delight in the summer garden. From June to September, it will produce delicate fringed white petals with contrasting yellow and purple shades in the centre of the flower. This show-stopping variety will grow to a height of 50-70cm, making it ideal for planting in the summer border or alternatively in patio pots and containers. Their wonderful blooms are loved by pollinators and make them an excellent cut flower for indoor displays. 7cm module plants supplied for results within weeks.
