Description
Description
Soft blue-grey petals, each with a broad white central band, surround a boss of reddish stamens, forming relatively large and showy flowers, which appear in two flushes throughout the season. Occasionally, the first flush in late spring or early summer can produce semi-double flowers, but typically each blooms will have just a single row of petals.
