Unique ball-shaped blooms are really something to see!
These enormous 25 cm flowers are naturally lovely in myriad shades of lavender-pink. A show-winning garden beauty, it is a prolific bloomer that bears its blossoms from summer to frost. In fact, it's not unusual to have up to 25 giant flowers per plant. Creates a marvelous focal point planting, but it's just as nice at the back of a sunny border. Makes a knockout addition to floral centrepieces— or as a sole bloom in a simple vase.
