Info | Long drooping scapes. A large clump that profusely flowers with pale lavender flowers that tend to droop from tall scapes. Unopened flowers look like stars. In early June, as the leaf wax starts to melt, the clumps are adorned with long, arching spikes with terminal clusters of white flowers. We've been surprised how well "The Prince" thrives in our hot, humid summers...performs best when planted near a Camilla...we mean Camellia. Latter not included. |
