  • Description

  • Notes

Flowers typically bloom late spring to early summer, come in various colors, and are described as being single, double, or anemone-like. Many are fragrant and they all make lovely cut flowers. Foliage is a rich, deep green, with leaflets being elliptical to lance-like or sometimes lobed. Plants generally grow about 3 feet tall and equal or a bit wider. Use in a perennial or shrub border; they combine well with roses, daisies, garden phlox, and iris.
